Don’t worry - all you need to join us is an open heart, an open mind and a willingness to learn and take direction.
If you arrive with these attributes and a solid work ethic, we will provide you with all the tools, information and training you need to thrive!
The position is challenging at times, like any important work, but it will be incredibly fulfilling.
You will see the impact every day in the smiles you see, the laughter you hear, the hugs you receive and the relationships you build with children.

Our school is small but mighty.

Over the last 47 years we have grown to offer an internationally recognized Montessori program for 400 children from Infancy through Elementary.
In that time, we have helped to grow tens of thousands of quality humans with the help of people just like you.
