The Assistant Guide will support a mixed-age Montessori classroom by helping prepare the learning environment and assisting children through individualized and small-group activities. Key duties include observing children, maintaining the classroom, building relationships with families, and collaborating with Lead Guides.
Candidates must have experience working with children aged 3–6 in a school or childcare setting and possess a positive, adaptable, and collaborative mindset. A genuine love for working with young children is essential, and interest in the Montessori approach is welcomed, though prior experience is not required.
Do work that matters! Every single day. We are hiring Assistant Guides for our lovely Guidepost Montessori school at Goodyear!
At Guidepost Montessori, our Assistant Guides play a meaningful role in helping children ages 0–6 develop independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
If you’re passionate about working with young children and want to grow in a supportive, purpose-driven environment, we’d love to meet you.
As an Assistant Guide, you’ll support a mixed-age Montessori classroom (Infant, Toddler, and Children’s House ages 3–6), helping create a calm, engaging environment where children are empowered to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
In a Montessori classroom, the environment and the guide work together to support each child’s development. You’ll assist in preparing beautiful, intentional learning spaces and support children through individualized and small-group activities—always with respect, patience, and care.
Most importantly, you’ll help children build confidence in themselves and discover what they’re capable of achieving.
Guidepost Montessori is a growing network of over 100 schools across the U.S. and Asia, serving children from 3 months to 6 years old.
We believe children are capable and we design an education that nurtures independence, curiosity, and joy. Our mission is to transform education by helping every child reach their highest potential academically, socially, and emotionally.
If you love working with children and are looking for a role where you can grow, make an impact, and be part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
