Job description

We are now hiring for Summer Camp Teachers for the 2025 summer season at our lovely Guidepost in The Woodlands!

Our summer camps run from June to August. We are hiring for both full-time and part-time roles. If you are interested in Montessori or early childhood education, are a college student, want to shift away from retail, restaurants, etc., maybe this is the role for you!

Your Role

In this Summer Camp role, you will support our Lead Teacher in guiding children to be more independent and confident in their abilities. This is a great opportunity to start your career in Montessori and early childhood education more generally, as many of our Assistant Guides ultimately grow to take on Lead Guide roles over time, thanks to our MACTE-accredited Montessori training program.

If you are interested in a full-time role, it offers great benefits including health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401K, a competitive rate of pay, and a generous 75% tuition discount for up to two children at our school.

We’re looking for a Summer Teacher who will bring their best to support every child in reaching their highest potential!

Guidepost Assistant Guides (teachers):

• 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

We would love to talk to you if you:

• Are familiar with the development of young children
• Have strong interpersonal skills and a customer-service oriented mindset
• Are willing to grow and learn
• Have a valid negative TB test (within the last 12 months) or are willing to take one prior to your start date
• Have a valid CPR certification or are willing to become certified prior to start date
• Are excited to learn more about Montessori Education

What we offer:

• The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
• Fully sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
• 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (serving children from 3 months old through 12th grade)
• A network of supportive peers and mentors who appreciate your contributions and share best practices
• Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities
• A competitive pay rate ($18 - $20 per hour)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance for full-time employees
