This is a dual role supporting the ECE Montessori music program and assisting in the Primary classroom during the afternoon program. The ECE Music Teacher is a versatile and nurturing musician who supports our students' musical journey from infancy to age six, honoring each child's developmental stage through the Montessori lens. This role requires an educator who can move fluidly across three musical journeys: gentle rhythm and repetition in the Nido (3–18 months), joyful movement and exploration in the Toddler Community (1.5–3 years), and playful discovery of music and technique in the Primary Community (3–6 years). In the afternoon, the role shifts to supporting a Primary classroom, guiding children through transitions, work cycle choices, and engagement within our after-school community.
Key Responsibilities Collaborate and support developmentally appropriate music experiences across the Nido, Toddler, and Primary communities, honoring each stage's unique relationship to rhythm, movement, and musical discovery.
Integrate music into the daily rhythm of each classroom in true Montessori spirit, following the child and supporting language, coordination, and self-expression.
Support Primary classroom transitions and work cycle choices during the afternoon work cycle.
Curate a peaceful Primary Napping Space where children feel safe, warm, and cared for.
Foster meaningful engagement with children in the after-school community, creating a warm and engaged presence throughout the day.
