Are you an Early Childhood Educator who is passionate about guiding children towards independence, or looking to start your career in education? If so, then join us on our mission to dramatically increase the accessibility of authentic Montessori education to children around the world!

We are now hiring Lead and Assistant Teachers for our Infant, Toddler, and Children's House (ages 3-6) classrooms as we work to grow our Montessori schools. Apply today to join our wonderful communities! 

 

Your Role:

In a Montessori environment, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They offer individual and small-group lessons, showing children how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving them 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.  

In your Guide role, you will work to:

  • Observe each child closely to understand and meet their physical, intellectual, and emotional needs  
  • Prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, exploration, deep learning, and independence
  • Cultivate independence and self-confidence by helping children ‘do it all by themselves’ 
  • Provide lessons to encourage practical life skills, language, and grace and courtesy  
  • Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of respect
  • Communicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible care for every child 

What we offer: 

  • Sponsored MACTE-accredited Montessori Teacher Diploma ($5,000+ value) 
  • 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children 3 months through 12th grade)
  • Flexible paid time off and paid holidays
  • Competitive salary or hourly rate
  • Excellent compensation package including health, dental, and vision insurance, and a retirement 401(k) account
  • Ongoing professional development and a network of supportive peers and mentors who regularly share best practices
  • Career growth and promotion opportunities in our national network 

We'd love to talk to you if you:  

  • Help children by giving them the tools to become independent
  • Are open to guiding your colleagues, and be guided by them in turn
  • Are eager to partner with parents on their child's journey
  • Take pride in your work and are friendly with error
  • Get energized and inspired by working with children!
