Infant Toddler Educator (IT Certified) – Enchanted Forest
Enchanted Forest is a small, relationship-based infant toddler program (ages 0–3) rooted in warmth, rhythm, and deep respect for early development. Our approach is influenced by Waldorf principles, Pikler care, and attachment-based practice. We value calm, beauty, and connection in both our environment and our relationships.

Spend time outdoors daily in all weather
Work collaboratively with a small team
Communicate with families through Brightwheel
Who You Are
We are looking for someone who is:
IT or ECCE Certified (required)
Warm, grounded, and emotionally attuned
Able to hold clear boundaries with care and respect
Observant and not overly directive with children
Reliable and team-oriented
Open to feedback and ongoing growth
Drawn to a slower, more intentional approach to early childhood
Experience with Waldorf, Pikler, or attachment-based care is an asset, but not required.
