Position: Toddler Lead Teacher
Location: 453 NY-211, Middletown, NY, 10940

Do you have what it takes to be a hero in the eyes of a child?

At TLE Middletown NY, we’re not just looking for teachers — we’re looking for everyday superheroes. The kind who can:

Rock a silly hat with confidence and sing the same song (in tune or not!) 20 times without losing your voice — or your mind.

Read the same beloved book again (and again), all while doubling as a human jungle gym.

Handle spontaneous toddler dance parties, pretend doctor visits, and imaginary hair salons like a pro.

Decode toddler-speak, solve playground mysteries with Sherlock-level skill, and always know who took the last crayon.

Offer endless hugs, infinite patience, and lightning-fast reflexes.

You might be the perfect fit if you:

Thrive on laughter, sticky fingers, and unconditional love.

Find joy in the little things (like glitter... everywhere).

Believe every meltdown is just a misunderstood message.

Wear an invisible superhero cape daily.

Job Responsibilities & Requirements

Our ideal childcare superhero will:

Provide a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for young children.

Lead fun, developmentally appropriate activities that support social, emotional, and academic growth.

Communicate with families and teammates with positivity and professionalism.

Keep classrooms organized, clean, and full of joy (and maybe a little glitter).

Maintain proper supervision and follow all daycare safety and licensing guidelines.

Bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for little learners every single day.

Requirements:

A CDA for infants/toddlers OR an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education 3 years experience working with children preferred (but a big heart is a must!).

Ability to pass background checks and meet state childcare requirements.

Reliability, teamwork, and a good sense of humor are essential.

Here, every day is filled with laughter, learning, and love. Join a team that feels more like family, where your impact is measured in giggles, milestones, and memories.

⚠️ Warning: Side effects may include spontaneous singing, being called “mom” or “dad” by accident, knowing way too much about Paw Patrol, and never wanting to leave.

The Learning Experience #145 The Learning Experience

At The Learning Experience, we make early education joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow.

 

Our curriculum focuses on the six ages and stages of early childhood development and engages children in hands-on learning activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development. This forms a foundation for kids to Learn, Play and Grow under the care of our nurturing teachers and staff.

 

At TLE®, we’ve created a full cast of characters that become our little learners’ educators, partners and friends through their preschool education journey. Each character has a unique personality and area of interest and brings learning to life by allowing children to explore the world through fun and imagination.
