We are now hiring a Lead Toddler Teacher for our beautiful Guidepost Montessori school at Evanston

Get the opportunity to nurture Toddlers with an environment designed for their growth, exploration, and independence

Your Role

We're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Lead Guide (Teacher) to support a mixed-age class of toddler-age children in a Montessori environment.

In a Montessori community, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They work with children individually and in small groups, demonstrating how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving 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. 

We’re looking for a Lead Guide who will bring their best in order to support every child in reaching their highest potential

Guidepost Infant/Toddler Lead Guides:

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 independenceCultivate 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 respectCommunicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible care for every child

The Montessori Prepared Environment

Every classroom at Guidepost comes equipped with the full range of high-quality Montessori materials for the infant/toddler curriculum, as well as a budget for guides to personalize their space. Each classroom is set up according to the Montessori principles of beauty and order and is designed to enable every child to explore, learn, and confidently achieve their independence. 

A Guidepost Montessori infant/toddler space features:

Abundant open space to move and explore Child-sized furniture and objects to facilitate independence Curriculum for independence in: dressing themselves, feeding themselves, toilet learning etc.Scientifically designed learning materials to develop fine and gross motor skills and so much more Cozy rugs, real plants, and plenty of natural lightBreakable objects made from natural materials like wood, metal, and glass rather than plasticObjects to climb, crawl over, and explore instead of baby-holding devices like walkers and highchairs
