Your Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Lead Guide (Teacher) to support a mixed-age class of preschool 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!
Children's House Lead Guides:
Observe each child closely to understand and meet their physical, intellectual, and emotional needs

Provide individual and small-group lessons to support each child's development in practical skills, literacy, math, and so much more
Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of respect
Communicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible support for every child
The Montessori Prepared Environment
Every classroom at Guidepost comes equipped with the full range of high-quality Montessori materials for the Children's House 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.
A Guidepost Montessori Children's House space features:
Child-sized furniture and ample floor space for children to work independently or in small groups
Practical life materials for children to sweep, set the table, dust, prepare meals, and so much more
Curriculum for independence: in dressing themselves, feeding themselves, caring for the space etc.
Scientifically designed, hands-on learning materials for gaining core knowledge in math, literacy, science, and so much more
All materials made accessible to children on low shelves and all art at the child's level
Cozy reading areas, real plants, and plenty of natural light
Breakable objects made from natural materials like wood, metal, and glass rather than plastic
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!
An ideal candidate has:
Obtained or willing to obtain a Montessori diploma for 3-6
Experience working with children ages 3-6 in a group setting such as daycare, aftercare, or preschool
Familiarity with child-led philosophies such as Reggio Emilia or Montessori and/or open to learning more!

What we offer:
The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
Sponsored Montessori diploma and ongoing professional development through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
