AMI -3 and 3-6 Guides

Montessori Community School is excited to announce the opening of a second site in Monterey, California, tentatively scheduled for January 2027. Our original school in Scotts Valley has been family-owned and operated since 2003, and we remain deeply committed to the traditional AMI Montessori philosophy.

Our new Monterey location will feature two Nido, three Toddler, and two Primary classrooms. The facility is designed with child-centered environments in mind, featuring low windows, tall open-beamed ceilings, heated floors, private kitchens and bathrooms in each classroom, and dedicated outdoor space.

We are currently seeking AMI-trained Lead Teachers for all levels who are passionate about building nurturing environments focused on children and community.

Minimum Requirements:

- AMI Montessori training or trainee

- A calm, nurturing presence

- A deep understanding of and love for the Montessori philosophy

- A community-oriented mindset

We pride ourselves on being one of the highest-paying Montessori schools in the area, offering a guaranteed 6% annual wage increase. Our comprehensive benefits package includes full insurance, ample paid time off, an optional month off in the summer, a paid birthday off, and coverage for professional development and Montessori conferences. We value teacher autonomy and foster a strong community through whole-school events and monthly staff gatherings.

Warmly,

Madelynn Van Den Heuvel
