LeafSpring Schools Infant Teacher Prospect, KY · Full time

Apply for Infant Teacher

We're more than a childcare center — we're a place where childhood is honored, curiosity is celebrated, and every person who walks through our doors matters.
At LeafSpring, we believe the early years shape everything. That's why we've built something different: a school where children don't just stay safe — they thrive. Where families don't just drop off — they partner with us. And where educators don't just work — they make a lasting impact every single day.
Our approach blends play-based learning with research-backed curriculum, delivered by a team that genuinely loves what they do. We hold ourselves to the highest standards — not because we have to, but because the families we serve and the children in our care deserve nothing less.
