About the job

Location: Gurgaon (in-person)

Engagement: Full-time

Learner Group: Small cohort

Role Overview

We are looking for an exceptional early-years educator to work closely with a small group of children on foundational learning skills — reading, math, thinking, creativity, and independence — in a highly personalized, Montessori-inspired environment. This is not a conventional teaching role. You will be a hands-on educator and a co-designer of an evolving early-learning curriculum, working alongside deeply involved parents and a broader learning ecosystem.

What You Will Do

• Design and run daily learning experiences focused on:
• foundational math (number sense, patterns, logic, problem-solving)
• early literacy (phonics, reading fluency, storytelling)
• Work with small groups (6-12 children) with deep individual attention
• Observe children closely and adapt pace, methods, and materials accordingly
• Create and iterate on learning materials, activities, and routines
• Document learning insights and help evolve a world-class early learning curriculum
• Collaborate closely with parents on goals, progress, and philosophy

What We’re Looking For

• Montessori training or strong Montessori-inspired early-years experience
• Deep respect for the child’s autonomy, curiosity, and natural learning rhythm
• Strong intuition for how young children actually learn
• Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation
• Ability to both execute daily routines and think structurally about learning design
• Warm, grounded presence; high patience and emotional intelligence

What Makes This Special

• Unusually high autonomy and trust
• Freedom to design, experiment, and build
• Exposure to a broader learning ecosystem and long-term vision
• The chance to help shape a new model of early education, not just deliver lessons

If you believe early childhood education should be joyful, rigorous, and deeply human — and you want to build something meaningful — we’d love to talk.
