Descripción del empleo

Lead Infant Teacher

Salary: $43,000 - 52,000 yearly

Empresa: Guidepost Montessori, Tipo de empleo: Tiempo completo, San Rafael, Argentina

Shape a child’s very first learning experiences. At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Infant Guides create calm, nurturing environments where infants are respected as capable individuals from the very beginning.

If you’re passionate about early development and want to lead a thoughtfully designed classroom that supports independence, movement, and discovery, we’d love to meet you.

As a Lead Infant Guide, you’ll lead a mixed-age infant classroom (ages 0–3) in a Montessori environment intentionally designed to support each child’s natural development.

In Montessori, the environment and the guide work together to nurture independence, curiosity, and confidence. You’ll thoughtfully prepare the classroom, observe each child closely, and provide individualized care that honors their unique rhythms and needs.

Most importantly, you’ll help infants develop trust in themselves and the world around them laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

What You’ll Do

• Observe each child to understand and support their physical, emotional, and cognitive development
• Respect and follow each child’s natural rhythms for sleeping, eating, and toileting
• Prepare and maintain a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, movement, and exploration
• Support independence by encouraging children to participate in care activities
• Build warm, meaningful relationships with children and families
• Partner closely with parents to support each child’s growth and development
• Lead and collaborate with classroom team members to create a strong, respectful community

The Montessori Prepared Environment

Every Guidepost infant classroom is fully equipped with high-quality Montessori materials and thoughtfully designed to support movement, exploration, and independence.

Our infant environments include:

• Open floor space for movement and exploration
• Child-sized furniture and materials
• Curriculum that supports independence in feeding, dressing, and toileting
• Scientifically designed materials for fine and gross motor development
• Natural elements like real plants, cozy rugs, and abundant natural light
• Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood and metal rather than plastic
• Opportunities for climbing, crawling, and discovery without restrictive devices

What We’re Looking For

• Interest in pursuing fully sponsored Montessori certification through our Prepared Montessorian Institute, or prior Montessori diploma
• Experience working with children ages 0–3 in a group care setting
• Alignment with child-led educational philosophies (Montessori, Reggio Emilia, or similar)
• Required ECE or Child Development credits
• Bachelor’s degree (any field)

What We Offer

• Sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development
• Competitive salary $43,000-52,000+
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• 75% tuition discount for up to two children at any Guidepost school
• A collaborative community of peers and mentors
• Clear pathways for career growth and leadership advancement
