Inspire curiosity. Build independence. Shape a lifelong love of learning.

At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Children’s House Guides empower children ages 3–6 to grow into confident, capable learners through thoughtfully prepared environments and respectful, individualized guidance.

If you’re passionate about early childhood education and excited to lead a classroom where independence and joy take center stage, we’d love to meet you.

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.

Children in Montessori classrooms have the freedom to choose meaningful work, repeat activities until mastery, and take pride in their accomplishments. Your guidance helps every child develop focus, confidence, and a strong belief in their own abilities.

What You’ll Do

  • Observe each child closely to understand and support their physical, intellectual, and emotional development
  • Prepare and maintain a beautiful, orderly classroom that fosters concentration and independence

  • Provide individualized and small-group lessons in practical life, literacy, math, and beyond
  • Build strong, respectful relationships with children and families
  • Communicate and collaborate with parents to support each child’s growth
  • Lead your classroom with warmth, professionalism, and purpose

  • 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
