Assistant Infant and Toddler Teacher - Guidepost Montessori
Palm Beach Gardens, FL
About the Job
We are seeking Assistant Teachers to join the infant and toddler classrooms at our wonderful Guidepost Montessori school in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida!
Your Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic, adaptable Assistant Guide (Teacher) to support a class of Infants 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

- 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 (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
- A competitive salary
