Job Description
Childcare Assistant


Job Title: Childcare Assistant


Daily Schedule: Monday-Friday


Hours: 8:45 AM-4:45 PM


Childcare Assistant


The Toddler Classroom Assistant works in an environment with up to 14 children between the ages of 15 months-3 years alongside a Montessori-trained Toddler Guide and a second Toddler Assistant. The duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:


  • Engage in weekly team meetings by sharing observations and asking questions about child development and how to best support each child.
  • Meet the toddler children where they are physically, socially, and emotionally.
  • Follow the children and the energy of the classroom to determine the needs of the students.
  • Perform cleaning, sanitizing, disinfection, and maintenance necessary to keep the classroom and common spaces clean, beautiful, and safe.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through continuous self-reflection and development, modeling inclusive behaviors, and proactively managing bias.
  • Consistent attendance is important to the students and the functioning of the classroom.
  • Be available, present, and focused on the children during daily transitions (i.e., work cycle, walks, recess, lunch, and naps).
  • Have an inherent love for this stage of development, and the ability to assist the students with their most personal needs such as toileting, washing, and dressing.
  • Promote feelings of security and trust in toddlers by encouraging and supporting them when necessary through activities and practical life skills.
  • Communicate with the children using language and tone of voice that is authentic, natural, and, most importantly, kind.
  • Maintaining an open, loving, and cooperative environment.
  • Seek balance when supporting the toddlers: avoid over-assisting or abandonment while children are practicing new skills (dressing, putting on shoes, face washing, nose-wiping, etc.). Remember the credo should be “help me help myself to learn to do it well.”
  • Ensure that toddlers are clean and well cared for regarding toileting, eating, handwashing, and mucus.
  • Maintain a positive work environment among all staff that is professional, kind, and inclusive.
  • Maintaining order and cleanliness of the environment and ensuring that closing duties are met daily.
  • Oversee and engage toddlers during recess time; ensure that activities are stimulating, age-appropriate, and safe.
