Mission Montessori Hiring for Early Childhood Assistant Teachers & Floaters at San Francisco, CA Full Time

Mission Montessori believes our goal as educators is to help each child become a passionate member of the human community who is confident, creative, and flourishing. We pride ourselves on taking our mission to heart and having a school culture that supports our mission. We know that our students thrive when we, as adults, feel passionate about our work and create an environment where we also feel confident, creative, and flourishing.

As our schools grows and evolves, we regularly seek caring, enthusiastic, and committed assistant teachers to work in our preschool classrooms with children 12 weeks to 6 years old! You would be teaming up with our Montessori-trained lead teachers and fellow assistants to support our students’ individual development and maintain our beautiful and orderly Montessori environments.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a collaborative person who enjoys spending time with children and is passionate about helping them grow, and who is ready for a new challenge in a warm community where growth is valued and encouraged. It’s also a great starting place for someone who is interested in Montessori, as you become immersed in Montessori and we often sponsor assistant teachers for Montessori training so they can become lead teachers.
