We have four schools located in Irvine, CA, with one on the UCI campus, which provide care and education to infant, toddler, preschool and early elementary children. We are currently hiring early childhood educators who appreciate and respect the unique qualities of each child to teach our EARLY CHILDHOOD (3 to 5 years old) or TODDLER (one year old through 2 years old) children.
At our schools, we believe in the power of collaboration and consistency. You'll work as part of a close-knit team of teachers, guiding the same group of children each day, fostering deep connections and a truly individualized hands-on learning experience. We support the development of the whole child including social, emotional, creative and cognitive growth through Montessori activities and cultivate a community where children have fun and feel safe to explore and grow.
This is more than just a job; it's an advancement opportunity. You will experience support and professional mentorship from the day you start. If you choose to pursue Montessori certification, we offer scholarships and discounts for AMS Montessori certification and units through UC Irvine to help you achieve your professional goals. A bachelor's degree or AA and coursework in early childhood education is preferred, but your passion and willingness to learn are what truly matter.
We value our team members and offer a comprehensive benefits package, including high quality medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, as well as a 401K with matching funds from the school.
If you have a desire to grow within the field of education, interest in Montessori philosophy, and a positive attitude, then we encourage you to apply! Join us in the opportunity to truly make a difference in children's lives, helping them discover who they are meant to be and developing a life-long love of learning. It's why we do what we do.
