Your Role
As a Lead Children's House Guide , you'll lead a mixed-age preschool classroom in a Montessori environment designed to nurture concentration, confidence, and deep learning.
Montessori guides carefully prepare their classrooms to spark curiosity and independence. Through close observation, individualized lessons, and intentional language, you'll support each child's academic, social, and emotional development meeting them where they are and helping them grow.

- Lead your classroom with warmth, professionalism, and purpose

- Child-sized furniture and ample floor space for independent and small-group work
- Practical life materials for sweeping, food preparation, table setting, and care of the environment
- Curriculum that builds independence in dressing, feeding, and self-care
- Hands-on materials for literacy, math, science, and cultural studies
- Low shelves and child-level artwork for full accessibility
- Cozy reading spaces, real plants, and abundant natural light
- Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood, metal, and glass
What We're Looking For
- Montessori diploma for ages 3–6 , or willingness to obtain certification (fully sponsored)
- Experience working with children ages 3–6 in a group learning environment
- Alignment with child-led philosophies such as Montessori or Reggio Emilia
- Required ECE or Child Development credits
- Bachelor's degree (Child related field)
What We Offer
- Sponsored Montessori diploma training through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
- Ongoing professional development and mentorship
- Competitive salary: $40,000 - $50,000 depending on experience and education
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- 75% tuition discount for up to two children at any Guidepost school
