Assistant Teacher

Description

 Are you a patient, nurturing educator who finds joy in the "lightbulb moments" of early childhood? We are looking for a dedicated Assistant Pre-Primary Teacher to join our Montessori community.

This specific classroom is a vibrant environment for children aged 2.5 to 4 years. A core focus of this role is supporting our students through the potty training transition, helping them move from diapers to independence with dignity and confidence. If you believe that every child deserves a peaceful, respectful, and organized start to their education, we’d love to meet you.
