Full job description
Shape a child’s very first learning experiences. At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Infant Guides create calm, nurturing environments where infants are respected as capable individuals from the very beginning.
If you’re passionate about early development and want to lead a thoughtfully designed classroom that supports independence, movement, and discovery, we’d love to meet you.
As a Lead Infant Guide, you’ll lead a mixed-age infant classroom (ages 0–3) in a Montessori environment intentionally designed to support each child’s natural development.
In Montessori, the environment and the guide work together to nurture independence, curiosity, and confidence. You’ll thoughtfully prepare the classroom, observe each child closely, and provide individualized care that honors their unique rhythms and needs.
Most importantly, you’ll help infants develop trust in themselves and the world around them laying the foundation for lifelong learning.
What You’ll Do
Observe each child to understand and support their physical, emotional, and cognitive development
Respect and follow each child’s natural rhythms for sleeping, eating, and toileting
Prepare and maintain a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, movement, and exploration
Support independence by encouraging children to participate in care activities
Build warm, meaningful relationships with children and families
Partner closely with parents to support each child’s growth and development
Lead and collaborate with classroom team members to create a strong, respectful community
The Montessori Prepared Environment
Every Guidepost infant classroom is fully equipped with high-quality Montessori materials and thoughtfully designed to support movement, exploration, and independence.
Our infant environments include:
Open floor space for movement and exploration
Child-sized furniture and materials
Curriculum that supports independence in feeding, dressing, and toileting
Scientifically designed materials for fine and gross motor development
Natural elements like real plants, cozy rugs, and abundant natural light
Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood and metal rather than plastic
Opportunities for climbing, crawling, and discovery without restrictive devices
What We’re Looking For
Interest in pursuing fully sponsored Montessori certification through our Prepared Montessorian Institute, or prior Montessori diploma
Experience working with children ages 0–3 in a group care setting
Alignment with child-led educational philosophies (Montessori, Reggio Emilia, or similar)
Required ECE or Child Development credits
Bachelor’s degree (any field)
What We Offer
Sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development
Competitive salary: $42,000 - $44,000
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and paid holidays
75% tuition discount for up to two children at any Guidepost school
A collaborative community of peers and mentors
Clear pathways for career growth and leadership advancement
