While our preschool 3-6 year old classrooms are led by certified Montessori Lead teachers, most assistants arrive with little to no working knowledge of Montessori principles, which is OK! Many stay on, acquire training and some eventually become fully certified Montessori teachers with their own classrooms to lead. We are looking for a teammate that is cheerful, focused and responsible. This is a full-time position, with shifts scheduled between 7:30am and 5:45pm. We offer a well-rounded calendar with school day closures closely following that of the SPS, which gives our staff ample time off to balance home and work life. Our beautiful 1.7 acre campus is located in North Seattle; we have 3 playgrounds, abundant parking, plenty of trees and wild open spaces. You can learn more about our school at www.littlelaurels.
