Montessori Toddler Teacher Assistant

Horizon Montessori School has been in happy operation since 1973, and currently operates four classrooms. We are looking for a patient, caring, enthusiastic individual with a great sense of humor to be the teaching assistant for our full-day, year-round classroom for three- to six-year-olds. The room itself is beautifully equipped with a full complement of Montessori materials. Our school is on 3/4 acre of land with a lovely back yard, including children's gardens. The assistant helps to prepare the environment daily, supervise children at work and at play, and greet the children and their parents in a warm and friendly manner.

The class is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. year-round, with the exception of holidays. High school diploma required; knowledge and appreciation of the Montessori philosophy desirable. We will train you!
