The Role: The Ultimate Team Player

The Learning Experience of Astoria is seeking experienced, dependable, and adaptable Part-Time Floating Assistant Teachers to support multiple classrooms across our center.

A Floating Assistant is a vital part of our team. This is not a “substitute” role — it is a professional position requiring confidence, flexibility, and strong classroom skills.

You will move between classrooms (Infants through Preschool) based on daily needs. This requires someone who:

Is comfortable working with all age groups

Can quickly adjust to different classroom routines

Jumps in immediately and supports without hesitation

Helps children feel safe and comfortable — even when faces change

Thrives in a fast-paced, structured environment

If you prefer having the exact same routine every day, this role may not be the right fit. If you are adaptable, proactive, and confident across age groups — we would love to meet you.

Experience Requirement (Mandatory)

Minimum 3 years of experience working in a licensed daycare center

Experience working with multiple age groups (infants, toddlers, preschool)

Strong understanding of classroom management and daily structure

Only candidates with verifiable daycare experience will be considered.

Key Qualities We Are Looking For

✔️ Consistently punctual and reliable ✔️ Flexible and comfortable with daily changes ✔️ Calm and nurturing with infants, energetic and engaging with older children ✔️ Positive team contributor ✔️ Able to follow classroom leadership and center policies ✔️ Strong understanding of child development and early learning practices

Responsibilities Include

Supporting Lead Teachers in various classrooms throughout the day

Assisting with routines (diapering, feeding, toileting, transitions, etc.)

Maintaining safety, supervision, and licensing compliance at all times

Engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities

Helping maintain a clean, organized environment

Providing stability and warmth — even when rotating between rooms

Floating Assistants play a critical role in maintaining ratios, structure, and consistency. Children thrive when adults are dependable and confident — and that is what we expect from our team.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

Someone who:

Is adaptable and solution-oriented

Can walk into any classroom and immediately contribute

Understands that early childhood stability matters — even in flexible roles

Takes professionalism and punctuality seriously

Loves being part of a strong, supportive team

What We Offer

Competitive hourly rate: $16–$18 per hour

Structured, professional work environment
