three little birds is seeking an experienced, nurturing, and highly organized Head Infant Teacher to lead our infant classroom within our Reggio-inspired, play-based early childhood program.

We are located in a beautiful, newly designed space in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood of Jersey City, just blocks from Liberty State Park. As our school continues to grow, we are building a team of educators who are not only warm and responsive caregivers, but strong classroom leaders who take pride in maintaining high standards for children, families, and their classroom environment.

This is not a traditional daycare role. We are a professional early childhood program with high expectations for quality, communication, organization, and child-centered care.

About the Role

Our Head Infant Teacher serves as the leader of the infant classroom, creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where babies can thrive.

This role requires someone who understands infant development deeply while also maintaining strong classroom systems, health and safety practices, organization, documentation, and communication with families.

Follow safe sleep practices, sanitation procedures, food handling guidelines, and diapering protocols
Maintain organized classroom systems and documentation
Take initiative to identify and address compliance needs before issues arise

Family Partnership & Communication

Build strong, trusting relationships with families
Communicate clearly and professionally with parents regarding their child's day, development, milestones, and needs. Maintain daily communication with families through Brightwheel.

· Create weekly classroom blogs highlighting children's learning experiences

Document children's growth through observations, assessments, and classroom documentation Lead parent-teacher conferences with thoughtfulness and professionalism
Partner with families to support children's growth and development

Our Philosophy

At three little birds, children learn, play, and grow through a play-based curriculum filled with music, movement, art, sensory exploration, and meaningful experiences.

Our classrooms are rooted in a Reggio-inspired approach, where children are viewed as capable, curious learners and teachers serve as thoughtful guides and observers.

We believe even our youngest learners deserve beautiful environments, responsive relationships, and educators who see the magic in everyday moments.

We are building a team of educators who care deeply about their work, their classroom community, and the impact they have on children and families.

Apply if you are ready to:

✔ Lead an infant classroom with confidence and care
