Inspire the next generation of innovators.

Become part of Discovery, a vibrant, high-quality Montessori community for children aged 10 weeks to 6 years.

The Opportunity

We are conducting a search for a Montessori Classroom Assistant to support our mixed-age infant, toddler, and preschool/kindergarten communities. In this role, you may be assigned to a different classroom every day or you may be assigned to work in a single classroom on a longer-term basis. Either way, you will help children fulfill their developmental potential in an authentically prepared, exceptionally executed Montessori environment. This is a part-time, year-round role, with a consistent 3:00pm - 6:30pm schedule Monday - Friday. This is a great way to gain experience working with different ages of children.

Do you want to be part of a one-of-a-kind school community that is inspiring the next generation of innovators? Are you experienced working with children ages 0 - 6? Have you completed at least 12 college-level early childhood education credits and are you trained in CPR and first aid? If so, we will reward your commitment and make you feel valued for the transformative work you do with:

• Competitive compensation -- $18 - $20 to start
• Generous medical benefits including plans with premiums that are free for employee-only coverage
• 401(k) savings opportunity including employer match
• Substantial paid time off and a number of paid holidays throughout the year
• On-going career development
