Are you passionate about fostering independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning in young children? We are seeking a warm, patient, and observant Preschool Teacher to join our team.
In this role, you won't just be standing at the front of a classroom lecturing; you will be a guide. We operate on a child-led, Montessori-inspired philosophy where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. If you have experience preparing beautiful environments and letting children lead the way, we would love to meet you!
What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities) Guide, Don’t Direct: Facilitate child-led learning by observing individual interests and gently guiding children toward activities that match their developmental stages.
Prepare the Environment: Maintain a clean, orderly, aesthetically pleasing, and safe classroom environment (the "prepared environment") where materials are easily accessible to children.
Observe & Document: Keep thoughtful track of each child's development, interests, and milestones to help tailor their learning path.
