The Maria Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten, established in 1991, is the quintessential one-room schoolhouse located in a park-like setting amid century evergreens and a Canadian Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat. We serve forty students, aged 2.5 to 6, between our two, half-day classes with an extended day Kindergarten program. We pride ourselves on the academic excellence and holistic growth that our students have achieved, and we have served multiple generations of families within our area. We have, at times, had two fully qualified AMI Guides teaching in the classroom at once and seen the dramatic results for our students.

Who we are looking for

• A Guide or Assistant, passionate about educating young minds to be independent, caring, citizens of the world
• A willingness to adapt and grow with our small team
• A unique perspective and life experience

Minimum Qualifications

• ECEA or ECE certification
• Strong spoken and written English skills
• Current First Aid/CPR certification

Our goal is to provide the richest environment for our students to grow academically and personally that we possibly can.

If you are just at the beginning of your career as a Montessori educator, we want to work with you to expand your skills and credentials. The most important thing to us is to find someone willing to learn and grow.

Our school is located at 8597 156th street, Surrey, BC.
