- A positive, adaptable, and collaborative mindset
- A genuine love for working with young children
- Interest in learning and growing within the Montessori approach (prior Montessori experience is welcome but not required)
What We Offer
- Fully sponsored Montessori courses and diploma training through the Prepared Montessorian Institute
- Ongoing professional development and mentorship
