Coast Redwoods Montessori serves up to 50 children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years old in our highly regarded program. We are seeking two fully qualified preschool teachers to join our team, guiding children in a wide range of enrichment and learning opportunities.
The first can be part time, 12:30-5:30. This teacher would lead our afternoon enrichment program, creating engaging theme-based learning activities, leading informational and fun circles with songs and presentations, and fostering a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere that promotes social and emotional growth.
The second teacher position is full time. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30-5:30. This position is a part of our core teaching team and will require either Montessori training, or the interest in taking the training.
Responsibilities include:
- Implement the Montessori teaching method to create a nurturing and educational environment for preschool students.
- Develop activities that cater to individual learning styles and abilities as well as to the Montessori philosophy.
- Foster a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere that promotes social and emotional growth.
- Communicate effectively with parents and colleagues to ensure student progress and well-being.
- Observe, guide and track child progress.
- Provide personal care for children as needed.
A fully qualified preschool teacher must have 12 units of ECE, including child, family, community and child development, at least one year of teaching experience in a licensed preschool, and have criminal background clearance.
If you do not yet have 12 units of Early Childhood Education, but are interested in becoming Montessori preschool teacher certified, we offer support to get the required training and coursework. Please feel free to inquire about an assistant teacher position. Pay range will be lower for an assistant position.
We offer paid sick time, paid vacation time, paid holidays, employee discount, support for Montessori training, and health benefits apply for full time workers.
