Toddler Assistant Teacher

Ages 18 Months–2.5 Years | Georgetown, TX

Love helping toddlers learn, grow, and become more independent?

Join the warm and supportive teaching team at Cantera Montessori in Georgetown! We are seeking a caring, dependable Toddler Assistant Teacher who enjoys working with young children and wants to make a meaningful difference during this important stage of development.

Montessori experience is not required. If you bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with toddlers, we will help you learn and grow as an educator.

A Supportive Classroom Team

Our Toddler Community serves 15 children between 18 months and 2.5 years old with a team of three educators: one Lead Teacher and two Assistant Teachers. This supportive 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio allows our teachers to build meaningful relationships with each child and provide thoughtful, individualized care.

As a Toddler Assistant Teacher, you will work alongside an experienced Lead Teacher to:

• Create a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom environment
• Help toddlers build independence through everyday routines
• Support children’s social and emotional development
• Guide children with patience through transitions and big feelings
• Encourage language, movement, curiosity, and hands-on learning
• Participate in activities such as art, cooking, gardening, music, and early STEM exploration
• Build positive relationships with children, families, and fellow teachers
• Help maintain a clean, calm, and organized classroom

You May Be a Great Fit If You:

• Love working with toddlers and celebrating their daily discoveries
• Are patient, attentive, dependable, and caring
• Enjoy being active and engaged throughout the day
• Work well as part of a collaborative teaching team
• Are eager to learn more about child development and Montessori education
• Have previous childcare, preschool, daycare, nannying, or early childhood experience—or a strong desire to begin a career working with young children

Why Join Cantera Montessori?

• Competitive pay
• Medical and dental insurance
• Paid sick leave, PTO, and holidays
• Tuition discounts for staff
• 401(k) matching and retirement benefits
• Ongoing professional development
• Tuition reimbursement

At Cantera Montessori, toddlers are encouraged to explore, build confidence, and develop the skills to do more for themselves. Our teachers provide the loving, consistent guidance that makes this growth possible.

If you are ready to build strong relationships with children and families while growing your career in early childhood education, we would love to meet you. Apply today!
