Empower Young Minds as a Lead Guide at Guidepost Montessori

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Lead Guide to support a mixed-age class of preschool-age children in a Montessori environment. As a Lead Guide, you will play a vital role in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters independence, self-confidence, and a love of learning.

Your Role

As a Lead Guide, you will be responsible for:

  • Observing each child closely to understand and meet their physical, intellectual, and emotional needs
  • Preparing a beautiful and orderly environment that encourages concentration, independence, and deep learning
  • Cultivating independence and self-confidence by helping children 'do it all by themselves'
  • Providing individual and small-group lessons to support each child's development in practical skills, literacy, math, and more
  • Forming personal connections with each child and cultivating a community of respect
  • Communicating and collaborating respectfully with parents to provide the best possible support for every child
The Montessori Prepared Environment

Our classrooms are designed to enable every child to learn, concentrate, and confidently achieve their independence. Each classroom features:

  • Child-sized furniture and ample floor space for children to work independently or in small groups
  • Practical life materials for children to sweep, set the table, dust, prepare meals, and more
  • Curriculum for independence: in dressing themselves, feeding themselves, caring for the space, etc.
  • Scientifically designed, hands-on learning materials for gaining core knowledge in math, literacy, science, and more
  • All materials made accessible to children on low shelves and all art at the child's level
  • Cozy reading areas, real plants, and plenty of natural light
  • Breakable objects made from natural materials like wood, metal, and glass rather than plastic
What We Offer

We are committed to providing a supportive and collaborative community for our Lead Guides. As a member of our team, you can expect:

  • The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
  • Sponsored Montessori diploma and ongoing professional development through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
  • 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network
  • A network of supportive peers and mentors who appreciate your valuable contributions and regularly share best practices
  • Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities
  • A competitive salary
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and paid holidays

We believe children are capable and we design an education for independence. If you share our passion for empowering young minds and are eager to join a collaborative community of peers, we would love to hear from you.
