Lead and Assistant Teachers

In a Montessori environment, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They offer individual and small-group lessons, showing children how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving them precise language to understand their experiences.  

Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. Most importantly, the support and materials help every child develop skills, confidence, and a firm conviction that they are capable.  

In your Guide role, you will work to:

• Observe each child closely to understand and meet their physical, intellectual, and emotional needs  
• Prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, exploration, deep learning, and independence
• Cultivate independence and self-confidence by helping children ‘do it all by themselves’ 
• Provide lessons to encourage practical life skills, language, and grace and courtesy  
• Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of respect
• Communicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible care for every child
