Montessori Teacher / Assistant Primary (36) Future Lead Guide Opportunity

Ready to Turn Your Passion for Children and Hunger to Grow into a Authentic Montessori Teaching Career? 

MSOSV is seeking a Montessori Teacher / Assistant Teacher (Primary Ages 3–6) who brings more heart, hustle, and genuine love for children than a long list of credentials. If you’re the kind of person who feels underutilized in your current role, loves working with young children, and dreams of one day leading your own Montessori classroom — this is your chance to grow into a meaningful leadership role in education. 

We’re looking for hungry, humble, and emotionally intelligent individuals who are passionate about child development, eager to learn the Montessori philosophy, and ready to invest in a long-term career. No perfect resume required — just enthusiasm, reliability, and the drive to make a real difference. 

What You’ll Do 

• Support the Lead Guide in creating a calm, beautiful, and engaging Montessori environment for children ages 3–6 

• Build meaningful relationships with children, helping them develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning 

• Observe children’s development and contribute to classroom documentation 

• Model grace, courtesy, and respectful communication every day 

• Collaborate closely with a supportive team of senior educators 

• Take on increasing responsibilities as you grow toward becoming a Lead Guide 

• Learn from hands-on mentorship and professional development activity 

This is a hands-on role designed for real growth — not just another assistant teaching job. 

Who We’re Looking For 

• 100% buy-in to our core philosophy of “Children First, Always.” 

• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and patient, nurturing presence 

• 12+ ECE units (or the willingness to complete them — we’ll support you) 

• Experience working with children ages 3–6 is preferred, but not  

• Genuine interest in Montessori education and a desire to become a future Primary Lead Guide 

• Excellent communication and organizational skills 

• Reliability, professionalism, and a child-centered approach 


• 
  

Montessori experience is welcome but not . We’re happy to train and mentor the right person who is passionate about learning and growing within the Montessori philosophy. 

Why Join MSOSV? 

• Clear career pathway to Lead Teacher with mentorship from experienced guides 

• Support toward Montessori Primary (3–6) certification thru a combination of in-house and third party Montessori training opportunities 

• Ongoing professional development and leadership coaching 

• Competitive benefits: Medical and dental insurance 

• 401(k) with generous company matching (up to 4% of earnings) 

• Paid time off, paid holidays, and tuition reimbursement 

• A supportive, collaborative culture where educators truly thrive and advance 


• 
  

The majority of our current Lead Guides started as assistants and grew into their roles through dedication, mentorship, and hands-on experience.  All (but one) of the members of our senior leadership team have been promoted from within. 

If you’re looking for a career — not just a job — where your passion and ambition are valued and nurtured, we’d love to meet you. 

Apply today and take the next step toward becoming a Montessori classroom leader. 

Please send your resume and a short note telling us why you’re excited about Montessori education and your long-term goals.
