Join to apply for the Assistant Teacher role at Guidepost Montessori

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, adaptable Assistant Guides (Teachers) to support Preschool (ages 3-6) children in a Montessori environment. In a Montessori environment, guides carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child and 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.
