- Scientifically designed materials for fine and gross motor development
- Natural elements like real plants, cozy rugs, and abundant natural light
- Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood and metal rather than plastic
- Opportunities for climbing, crawling, and discovery without restrictive devices
What We're Looking For
- Experience working with Infants/Toddlers
- Passion and a nurturing personality
- Someone who wants to support parents in growing their child
What We Offer
- Sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development
