Your Role:

In this Lead Guide role, you will create and lead a model classroom as part of our founding team.

We'd love to talk to you if you:

• Have received a Montessori Diploma/Certificate for the 0-3 age group or are interested in free training to become certified 
• Have experience with the appropriate ages in a group setting, such as a preschool, daycare, childcare, nursery, or Reggio Emilia center
• Help children by giving them the tools to become independent
• Are open to guiding your colleagues, and be guided by them in turn
• Are eager to partner with parents on their child's journey
• Take pride in your work and are friendly with error
• Get energized and inspired by working with children!

What we offer:

• 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children 3 months through 12th grade)
• 6 weeks of paid time off and paid holidays
• Excellent compensation package including health, dental, and vision insurance, and a retirement 401(k) account
