Overview We are currently seeking a warm, engaging, and bilingual Early Childhood Spanish Specialist and Support Assistant to join our Toddler and Primary teams. This individual will play a dual role: providing Spanish language exposure through songs, movement, and storytelling, while also supporting classroom needs and transitions throughout the day. The successful candidate will join a vibrant, close-knit group of Spanish-speaking and English-speaking educators who collaborate joyfully and support one another\'s growth. This role includes mentorship and abundant opportunities to learn from experienced Montessori teachers in a spirited, collegial environment.

Located on a stunning waterfront campus, our children enjoy expansive indoor-outdoor learning experiences year-round. Our sunlit classrooms and vibrant outdoor environments foster curiosity and independence. We are a collaborative, joyful community of educators, students, families, and administrators, all aligned in our mission: to guide children to become independent, responsible, compassionate individuals who think critically and understand their role in the world.
