We are launching a small, Montessori co-op in Raynham designed for children ages 2.5–6 years. Our program emphasizes independence, practical life skills, social development, and respect for the child within a calm, thoughtfully prepared environment.

This is not a traditional childcare role. Parents or caregivers actively participate in the classroom on a rotating basis, allowing the guide to focus on observation, lesson presentation, and maintaining the Montessori work cycle.

We are seeking a Montessori-aligned guide/teacher to lead our morning work cycle and help establish a warm, consistent classroom culture.
