Child Care Assistant Teacher

At Little Sprouts LLC, we value educators and are committed to meaningful change. We offer generous benefits, including a paid week off between Christmas and New Year’s, extended time off around the 4th of July, professional development, and true work-life balance—all to support a fulfilling, goal-aligned career.

Starting out in Early Education and Care is both exciting and humbling—full of big emotions, little voices, and constant learning for both children and teachers. With strict regulations, health and safety protocols, and evolving classroom routines, there's a lot to absorb, and it takes time. Communication, patience, and an open mind are essential as you navigate daily challenges and find your rhythm. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, so ask questions, lean on your team, and trust the process. The reward comes in the small moments of connection and watching children thrive because of your consistent presence and care.

We are seeking passionate Assistant Teachers to join our Natick School, led by a School Director with several years of experience in EEC. Our thriving community is built on shared values of teamwork, passion, and a commitment to continuous learning.
