Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, United Kingdom Guidepost Montessori Full time

We are seeking a dedicated Child Development Specialist to support our infant age children in a Montessori environment.

About Us

Guidepost Montessori is a growing network of 120+ Montessori schools, serving children ages 0-12 in our Nido, Toddler, Children's House, and Elementary programs. With schools from Shanghai to Paris and California to New York, as well as virtual school and homeschooling support, there are countless opportunities for passionate educators to support children on their individual path to success.

We believe children are capable and we design an education for independence. Our mission? Children who fully experience and joyfully achieve their own development; children who can reach their highest potential and flourish—in school and in life.

Your Role

You will be responsible for observing each child closely to understand and meet their physical, intellectual, and emotional needs. This includes following the natural rhythms of sleeping, eating, and toileting for each child. You will also prepare a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, exploration, deep learning, and independence.

Cultivating independence and self-confidence by helping children 'do it all by themselves' is crucial. Forming personal connections with each child and cultivating a community of respect is also essential. You will communicate and collaborate respectfully with parents to provide the best possible care for every child.

What We Offer

We offer the opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child. A competitive salary is provided, along with health, dental, and vision insurance. Paid time off and paid holidays are also offered.

A 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network is available. Our network of supportive peers and mentors appreciates your valuable contributions and regularly shares best practices.

Abundant career growth and promotion opportunities are available. Every classroom at Guidepost comes equipped with the full range of high-quality Montessori materials for the infant/toddler curriculum, as well as a budget for guides to personalize their space.

The Ideal Candidate

An ideal candidate has experience working with children ages 0-3 in a group setting such as daycare, aftercare, or nursery. Familiarity with child-led philosophies such as Reggio Emilia or Montessori and/or open to learning more is required. Early Childhood Education (ECE) or Child Development credits and a Bachelor's Degree (any subject) are also necessary.

$40,000-$50,000 per year.
