About the job
We are hiring Assistant Guides for our lovely Guidepost Montessori school at Palm Beach Gardens!
Get the opportunity to empower 0 to 6-year-olds to gain independence, self-confidence, and an enduring love of learning!
Your Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic, adaptable Assistant Guides (Teachers) to support a mixed-age class of Infants, Toddler, and Preschool (ages 3-6) children in a Montessori environment.
In a Montessori environment, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child’s interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They offer individual and small-group lessons, showing children how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving them precise language to understand their experiences.
Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. Most importantly, the support and materials help every child develop skills, confidence, and a firm conviction that they are capable.

What we offer:
- The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child
- Fully sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
- 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children from 3-months-old through Elementary)
- A network of supportive peers and mentors who appreciate your valuable contributions and regularly share best practices
- Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities
- A competitive pay rate
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and paid holidays
