You would be teaming up with lead teachers, fellow junior teachers, and assistant teachers to support our students' individual development and maintain our beautiful and orderly Montessori environments.

• Has a Montessori diploma
• Has experience working with children (highly preferred) and a passion for working with ages 18 months to 3 years

What You Can Expect:

• A competitive salary for the Bay Area

• Paid medical, dental, and vision insurance

• An FSA
• Paid sick leave, personal days, breaks, and holidays
• Life insurance and disability insurance

• Tuition discounts

• The opportunity to enroll in our 401(K) retirement plan

• Thorough onboarding
• Relocation assistance (as applicable)

• A variety of professional development opportunities unique to each employee’s career path and interests, including in-house training, positive discipline training, stipends for AMI Refresher Courses, and more

• A wonderful community that includes passionate and supportive educators from around the world, regular mentorship and opportunities for professional growth, and fun social events and community lunches

• Beautiful working environments (you can take a virtual tour of our campus here)
• A central location that's easily accessible by public transit

Our Hiring Process:

• We understand that people from all paths and backgrounds have so much to offer and we believe diversity enriches communities and lives. Our interview process reflects this and is based on the same holistic approach that we use in all other areas of our work. Our goal is to carry out a process that is as informative as possible for both our school and the candidate so everyone can make informed decisions about what is right for them.
• The steps after we receive an application are an initial 30-minute Zoom call, a written packet, and a Zoom interview (including a mock Montessori lesson) with two members of our team. We also love to have candidates talk with other Mission Montessori teachers and visit our campus when possible.
• Every application is carefully reviewed and receives a response.
