In a Montessori environment, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child's interest. Teachers 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.
We're looking for an Assistant Teacher who will bring their best in order to support every child in reaching their highest potential!
Guidepost Teacher Assistants:
Observe children closely to understand and best meet their needs
Prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters independence and concentration
Provide individual and small-group lessons to support each child's development
Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of collaboration and respect
An ideal candidate has:
Experience working with children ages 3-6 in a school setting
Previous experience in Customer Service, Child Care, Daycare or Administration
What we offer:
The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
Fully sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children from 3-months-old through 1st grade)
A network of supportive peers and mentors who appreciate your valuable contributions and regularly share best practices
Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities
A competitive pay rate
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and paid holidays
