ABOUT US

Earth Child Montessori School is dedicated to nurturing each child’s natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning. We provide a warm, engaging environment where children are encouraged to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Early Childhood Educator/Montessori Teacher to join our team.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Montessori Teacher plays a vital role in shaping the foundational years of a child’s education. In this role, you will be responsible for creating a nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive classroom environment where children feel safe, respected, and inspired to learn. You will guide children through hands-on Montessori lessons, encourage independent exploration, and support their natural curiosity.
The teacher is expected to foster growth in all areas of development—academic, social, emotional, and physical—while respecting the unique pace and personality of each child. You will prepare and maintain a thoughtfully organized Montessori environment, observe students closely to identify their needs, and design learning opportunities that build confidence and independence.
Collaboration and communication are also central to this role. You will work closely with fellow teachers and staff to ensure a consistent and supportive learning atmosphere, and you will engage parents as valued partners in their child’s education. This position requires patience, creativity, and a strong commitment to the Montessori philosophy of “following the child.”
