Your Role 

We're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Lead Guide, lead teacher, who can lead our Mandarin Immersion program. This will be a mixed-age class of Toddler age children in a Montessori environment. 

In a Montessori class, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They work with children individually and in small groups, demonstrating how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving precise language to understand their experiences.  

Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. Most importantly, the support and materials help every child develop skills, confidence, and a firm conviction that they are capable.  

We’re looking for a Lead Guide who will bring their best in order to support every child in reaching their highest potential! 

The Montessori Prepared Environment 

Every classroom at Guidepost comes equipped with the full range of high-quality Montessori materials for the Toddler curriculum, as well as a budget for guides to personalize their space. Each classroom is set up according to the Montessori principles of beauty and order and is designed to enable every child to learn, concentrate, and confidently achieve their independence.  

An ideal candidate has: 

• Experience working with children ages 18-36 months in a group setting such as daycare, aftercare, or preschool.
• Currently holds a MACTE certification in 0-3 or is interested in pursuing Montessori certification through our Prepared Montessorian Institute (fully-sponsored)
• • Familiarity with child-led philosophies such as Reggio Emilia or Montessori and/or open to learning more!
• Child Development degree or training
