Are you a calm, friendly, responsible person who loves being with children? Our Early Childhood Teacher's Assistant or intern works closely with trained Montessori Head Teachers to provide a caring, nurturing learning environment for children ages 3 to 5. The Teacher's Assistant or intern helps children acquire independence skills and discover their abilities. Responsibilities include safely and competently supervising children at all times, during inside and outside play, at nap time, and during transitions. You'll be assisting children with activities of daily living (eating, toileting, dressing, falling asleep at nap), choosing activities, and putting their things away when finished, comforting children, reading stories, singing songs, helping to keep the classroom environment tidy, helping the children as they gain independence in the classroom, participating by singing during circle time, interacting with parents, and being part of a team of teachers dedicated to Montessori philosophy and practice.

Are you a patient, kind, and compassionate person? Do you enjoy being with young children? Are you a good team player with adults? Do you accept coaching from a head teacher and supervisor? If you answered YES, then this is a great opportunity to start your professional career in early Montessori education.

The shift is M-F 8:30 - 5:30 pm.
