Full Job Description

Location: Magnolia Montessori School, Whitehouse Station, NJ Start Date: September 2026 Program: Small Montessori Program (Infant Community) Employment Type: Full-Time

About Us

We are a small, close-knit Montessori program dedicated to providing a nurturing, prepared environment where infants can explore, grow, and develop independence at their own pace. Our low ratios and home-like setting allow our guides to build deep, trusting relationships with each child and family in our care.

Position Overview

We are seeking a warm, attentive, and experienced Infant Lead Guide to oversee our Infant Community classroom (typically ages 6 weeks–18 months). The Lead Guide will be responsible for creating and maintaining a safe, calm, and enriching Montessori environment, working closely with an assistant/co-guide, and communicating daily with families about their child's care and development.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare and maintain a Montessori infant environment that supports movement, sensory exploration, language development, and independence
Provide responsive, individualized care for each infant, including feeding, diapering, and sleep routines, following Montessori principles of respect and observation
Build trusting, communicative relationships with families; provide daily updates on feeding, sleep, diapering, and developmental milestones
Observe each child closely and adapt the environment and activities to their individual developmental stage
Maintain a safe, clean, and hazard-free classroom in compliance with state licensing and health/safety regulations
Collaborate with the assistant guide and program director on classroom routines, scheduling, and child progress
Support smooth transitions for children moving into the Toddler Community
Maintain required health, safety, and licensing documentation, including immunization records, incident reports, and ratios
Participate in staff meetings, training, and ongoing professional development

Qualifications

Montessori Infant/Toddler credential (AMI or AMS) strongly preferred; candidates in the process of certification will be considered
Prior experience working with infants in a licensed childcare, early intervention, or Montessori setting
Working knowledge of infant development, attachment, and Montessori infant pedagogy
Current CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain before start date)
Ability to meet New Jersey childcare licensing requirements, including background checks, health screening, and required training hours
Excellent communication skills with both children and parents
Patient, nurturing, and detail-oriented approach to caregiving

What We're Looking For

A calm, gentle presence who can meet each infant's needs with warmth and consistency
Someone who values partnership with families and communicates proactively
A team player who works well in a small, tight-knit staff environment
Flexibility and reliability, with a genuine passion for infant development and Montessori philosophy

Schedule

Full-time, Monday–Friday. Specific hours to be discussed during the interview process.

Please send your resume and a brief cover letter to [email protected]. We look forward to learning more about you and your experience working with infants.
