Montessori Lead Guide & Assistant Guide – Help Shape Independent, Curious Learners!

Looking for a meaningful career in early childhood education? Want to be part of a Montessori school where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and develop independence in a peaceful, structured environment? Sonnet Montessori School & Child Care is hiring both Lead Guides and Assistant Guides to join our team!

Why Montessori? Why Sonnet?

Unlike traditional daycare settings, Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully prepared environments where children:

• Develop an absorbent mind through hands-on learning.
• Are given freedom within limits to make choices and explore their interests.
• Engage in practical life activities like pouring, sorting, and caring for their space.
• Are guided by Montessori-trained Guides, who mentor rather than instruct.
• Learn at their own pace in mixed-age classrooms, fostering confidence and leadership skills.

What You’ll Do:

As a Lead Guide, you will:

• Create and maintain a prepared environment that encourages independent learning.
• Introduce Montessori materials and didactic activities that promote exploration and problem-solving.
• Observe and support each child’s individual learning journey through hands-on guidance.
• Encourage grace and courtesy, helping children develop respect for themselves and others.

As an Assistant Guide, you will:

• Support the Lead Guide in creating a calm, structured learning environment.
• Assist children with practical life activities that develop independence and coordination.
• Observe and engage with students, reinforcing their self-discipline and confidence.
• Help maintain the classroom’s prepared environment, ensuring materials are accessible and inviting.

For Assistant Guides:

• At least 18 years old with a high school diploma or GED.

For Both Roles:

• CPR & First Aid Certification (We’ll assist you in obtaining it!).
• Ability to pass a background check & fingerprinting.
