Thank you for your interest in working with Sprouts Montessori of Bend. At Sprouts, we create spaces for the natural growth and development of children ages 6 weeks to 6 years in beautiful, intentionally designed indoor and outdoor environments. At this time, we are seeking two teaching assistants for our Sprouts House toddler (12-36m) program. Spanish speakers are encouraged to apply! Sprouts Montessori of Bend strives to be a home away from home for staff as well as children and families. We offer an inclusive and supportive work environment. We are an equal opportunity employer and seek to provide an anti-racist and anti-bias workspace. Our focus at Sprouts is to follow the child, which usually means getting outdoors a lot. It also means ongoing professional development so that we all learn to recognize the natural stages of children's physical, cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional growth. We design our spaces so that children can navigate their days independently, with ease and enjoyment. Our job is to keep our environments prepared, supervise and observe each individual, and offer guidance and support as needed.
