Montessori

Are you an experienced childcare provider looking for a #change? Have you considered working in a Montessori school? Montessori is a beautiful approach to education. The Julia Brown Schools were founded in 1967 by Charles and Julia Brown. We currently serve children ages 15 months to 9 years old. Our environment is calm and peaceful.

Montessori is a system of education for young children that seeks to develop natural interests and activities rather than use formal traditional teaching methods. Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, developed this unique method of learning in 1907.

If you are interested in the Montessori method, this is a wonderful place to learn. There is room for growth at our schools as we prefer to promote from within.

We are looking for staff to assist our Montessori Directors/Directresses during our Montessori classes and then to work in our before/aftercare program as well as our summer program. Our staff must be caring, dependable, dedicated individuals who truly enjoy working with young children.
