Founded by three mothers who asked a simple but powerful question — What do we truly want for our children, and how do we create that in a school? — our community has grown from a small seed into a thriving learning environment where children, families, and educators feel genuinely seen and valued. We are seeking a Montessori Teacher to join our close-knit, mission-driven team beginning in May 2026. Who We Are At New Adventures, learning is an adventure. We believe in nurturing a child's innate curiosity, honoring their individuality, and cultivating compassion, confidence, and independence from the very beginning. Our toddler environment is designed to support the child's growing sense of self, language development, movement, and early social relationships. Classrooms are calm, joyful, and intentionally prepared, and our teachers are trusted professionals who collaborate closely and support one another. While this role is centered in our Toddler community, our school values connection across age groups, with opportunities for shared experiences throughout the day. The Role The Montessori Teacher will guide a classroom using an accredited Montessori curriculum, supporting children during this critical stage of independence, language acquisition, and self-discovery. This teacher will create a nurturing, consistent, and respectful environment where toddlers feel safe to explore, take risks, and develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. You will work closely with school leadership and fellow educators to partner with families and foster a warm, peaceful, and engaging community.
