Job description

We are hiring Assistant Teachers for our lovely Guidepost Montessori school at Bridgwater!

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

In a Montessori environment, guides carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. They provide personalized support to each child through individual and small-group lessons, demonstrating how to use materials and perform activities, and offering precise language to help children understand their experiences.

Children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. The support and materials help each child develop skills, confidence, and a strong belief in their capabilities.

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

• Observe children closely to understand and 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:

• Experience working with children ages 0-6
• Insert State Requirements

What we offer:

• The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program tailored to each child's needs
• 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (serving children from 3 months to 12th grade)
• A supportive network of peers and mentors who appreciate your contributions and share best practices
• Career growth and promotion opportunities
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and holidays
