Age Group: Toddler

Description: Our toddlers need an extraordinary teacher. They are in class from 8:30am to 3:30pm (some stay until 5:30pm), working diligently at becoming independent. Their classroom is a beautifully prepared environment, adjacent to a large playground. As they mature, they’ll move up to one of two primary classrooms, so continued observation of independence is possible.

We are looking for a Montessorian, trained at the infant-toddler level, to join our teaching staff. In addition to training, the position requires at least a year of lead teaching, and college education is preferred. The usual current first aid, CPR, food handler permit, TB test and DEL background check are required as well. Compensation depends on training, education and experience.

In non-COVID years our school has about 100 children between the ages of 15 months and 6 years, in five classroom communities. We work hard, laugh often and truly enjoy assisting children in their developmental journey.
