Luminary Montessori is a new, authentic Montessori school opening in January 2027 in Hendersonville, Tennessee — serving children from 10 weeks to six years in a beautiful, purpose-built facility, with the operational excellence of the best programs.
ROLE SUMMARYGuide the Toddler Community through the period Montessori called the greatest work of a human life — the move from dependence to “help me do it myself.” Practical life, the language explosion, toilet learning, and the first lessons in grace and courtesy.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES- Prepare a toddler environment scaled to the child — real tools, child-sized furniture, accessible shelves, and orderly sequences that invite independence
- Present practical-life and language activities, and support self-care: dressing, hand-washing, food preparation, and cleaning up
- Support toilet learning in partnership with families, without pressure, charts, or reward systems
- Guide social development and conflict through grace and courtesy rather than time-outs or punitive systems
- Observe and record daily, adapting the environment to each child's developmental moment
- Partner with families through conferences and daily communication
- Mentor and direct an assistant teacher; maintain health, safety, and ratios
- Competitive salary and a full benefits package — health insurance, vision, dental, 401(k), and paid time off
- Paid professional development and Montessori credentialing support
- A beautiful, brand-new, purpose-built facility
- A founder-led, mission-driven, supportive culture
- Growth opportunities as we open additional classrooms and schools
- Montessori Infant & Toddler credential (AMI 0–3 / AMS / MACTE) strongly preferred — credentialing support available for the right candidate
- Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field preferred
- Experience with children 12 months to 3 years in a group setting
Calmer authority, physical stamina, and genuine respect for toddler autonomy
