- Observe and record each child's development, and use those observations to adapt the environment
- Partner closely with parents day to day - feeding and sleep communication, and steady support for families separating from an infant for the first time
- Maintain scrupulous health, hygiene, safe-sleep, and ratio standards
- Mentor and direct an assistant teacher
- 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 Assistants to Infancy credential (AMI 0-3) or an AMS / MACTE Infant & Toddler credential strongly preferred - credentialing support available for the right candidate
- Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field preferred
