Job description

We are hiring Assistant Teachers for our lovely Guidepost Montessori school at Mansfield, TX!

This position is Full-Time (9:30am to 6:00pm). At our school, you'll have the opportunity to support mixed-aged Montessori classrooms, ages 3 months to 6 years old. Get the opportunity to empower 0 to 6-year-olds to gain independence, self-confidence, and an enduring love of learning!

Your Role

We're looking for an enthusiastic, adaptable Assistant Teachers (Guides) to support a mixed-age class of Infants, Toddlers, and preschool (ages 3-6) children in a Montessori environment.

In a Montessori environment, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They offer individual and small-group lessons, showing children how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving them precise language to understand their experiences.

Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. Most importantly, the support and materials help every child develop skills, confidence, and a firm conviction that they are capable.

We’re looking for an Assistant Guide who will bring their best in order to support every child in reaching their highest potential!

• Observe children closely to understand and best meet their needs
• Prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters independence and concentration
• Provide individual and small-group lessons to support each child’s development
• Form personal connections with each child and cultivate a community of collaboration and respect

An ideal candidate has:

What we offer:

• The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
• 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children from 3-months-old through 12th grade)
• A network of supportive peers and mentors who appreciate your valuable contributions and regularly share best practices
• Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
