Position Overview:
Are you ready to embark on a wild and wacky adventure as a Toddler Tamer at Maximum Heights Early Learning Academy? As a Toddler Tamer, you'll be in charge of corralling and caring for our littlest learners, aged 1-3 years old.
Your days will be filled with silly songs, finger painting, and playing dress-up. You'll also get to lead interactive story times, and teach our toddlers how to share and play nicely with one another. And if you're feeling brave, you might even get to join in on some impromptu dance parties!
But being a Toddler Tamer isn't all fun and games - you'll also need to be a master of patience, as our little ones can be quite the handful at times. You'll need to be quick on your feet and ready to handle anything from a temper tantrum to a diaper blowout.
