Infant Care Leader (TASKA Branch Leader)

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced, passionate, and organised Infant Care Leader to manage our TASKA centre in Taman Sri Bintang. Unlike a room-based caregiver, this role is responsible for the entire centre – across 5 classes serving children aged 2 months to 32 months. You will lead a team of infant caretakers and assistant teachers, ensure full compliance with JKM/PERMATA regulations, maintain high standards of safety and hygiene, and serve as the primary point of contact for parents and external agencies. This is a leadership role for someone who can balance hands-on infant expertise with operational management.

Centre Leadership \& Operations

• Organise parent orientation sessions, workshops, or centre events (e.g., family days).
• Serve as the primary liaison with JKM, PERMATA, or other regulatory bodies during inspections.

Curriculum \& Child Development Oversight

• Ensure each class implements age‑appropriate, developmentally‑focused activities (sensory play, motor skills, language exposure, social-emotional bonding).
• Review and approve weekly lesson/activity plans submitted by room leads.
• Monitor individual child progress (milestones, health records) and ensure accurate documentation in the centre’s app or paper logs.

Health, Safety \& Hygiene

• Enforce strict hygiene protocols (diapering, feeding, sanitisation, sleep safety).
