What is an infant teacher?

An infant teacher looks after children who are under one year old (considered the pre-toddler age group), attending to the social and physical needs of each child. You usually work with a principal or other teachers to create a uniform curriculum and assessment program for students. Your duties include carefully observing each child in your care, developing stimulating activities for the children, and evaluating the effectiveness of child development strategies. You will also interact with the infants’ parents or caregivers, providing them with feedback and descriptions of their child’s progress. You are responsible for maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all children in your care.
