Guidepost Montessori is hiring: Lead Preschool Teacher in Wilton

Lead the Way in Montessori Education - Join Guidepost Montessori at Wilton!

Do you believe that every child is capable of achieving greatness?
At Guidepost Montessori at Wilton, we're on a mission to help children ages 3-6 gain independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning-and we're searching for a passionate Lead Children's House Guide (Teacher) to join our team.
Why This Role Matters

In our Children's House classrooms, you'll do more than teach-you'll inspire. As a Lead Guide, you will:

• Empower children to "do it all by themselves" and feel the pride that comes with independence.
• Create a space where curiosity and discovery lead the way.
• Provide lessons tailored to each child, sparking their love for math, literacy, science, practical life skills, and more.

You'll work with purpose, surrounded by a collaborative team and an environment designed to let both educators and children thrive.
Your Role

As the Lead Children's House Guide, you will:

• Observe each child to understand their physical, emotional, and intellectual needs.
• Prepare a beautiful, organized classroom where materials are accessible, purposeful, and inviting.
• Guide children individually and in small groups, helping them master new skills with confidence.
• Foster a respectful, joyful classroom community.
• Partner with parents to support every child's growth and success.

Inside a Guidepost Children's House Classroom

Our classrooms are fully equipped with the complete Montessori curriculum and thoughtfully designed to promote deep learning and independence. Picture this:

• Low shelves with hands-on materials children can choose themselves.
• Cozy reading nooks, natural light, and real plants that bring life into the room.
• Practical life areas where children learn to prepare snacks, care for the space, and dress themselves.
• Natural materials-wood, glass, and metal-over plastic, cultivating beauty and respect.

What We're Looking For

• A Montessori diploma for ages 3-6 (or willingness to obtain with our sponsorship).
• Experience working with children in a preschool, daycare, or similar setting.
• A deep respect for the capabilities of young children.
• Familiarity with Montessori or other child-led approaches (or eagerness to learn).
• ECE/Child Development credits and/or a bachelor's degree preferred.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Sponsored Montessori training through the Prepared Montessorian Institute.
• 75% tuition discount for up to two children at any of our schools (3 months-Elementary).
• Competitive salary, health/dental/vision insurance, PTO, and paid holidays.
• A collaborative network of peers and mentors across 100+ schools worldwide.
• Clear pathways for career growth and advancement .
