We are now hiring an enthusiastic and dedicated Lead Guide (Teacher) to support a mixed-age class of infant age children in a Montessori environment.

  • 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'
