Your Role 

We're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Guide (Teacher) to support a mixed-age class of infant age children in a Montessori environment. 

In a Montessori community, 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.  

The Montessori Prepared Environment 

Every classroom at Guidepost comes equipped with the full range of high-quality Montessori materials for the infant/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 explore, learn, and confidently achieve their independence.  

A Guidepost Montessori infant space features: 

• Abundant open space to move and explore  
• Child-sized furniture and objects to facilitate independence  
• Curriculum for independence in: dressing themselves, feeding themselves, toilet learning etc.
• Scientifically designed learning materials to develop fine and gross motor skills and so much more 
• Cozy rugs, real plants, and plenty of natural light
• Breakable objects made from natural materials like wood and metal rather than plastic
• Objects to climb, crawl over, and explore instead of baby-holding devices like walkers and highchairs  

If you’re passionate about giving children the tools they need to succeed, eager to partner with parents on their child’s journey, and longing to join a collaborative community of peers, then the team at Guidepost Montessori would love to hear from you!
