  • 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in our network (we serve children 3 months through 12th grade)
  • The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality Montessori program that serves the individual needs of each child

We'd love to talk to you if you:  

  • Have experience with the appropriate age group in a group setting, such as daycare, aftercare or nursery
  • Help a child by giving them the tools to be independent
  • Are open to guiding your colleagues, and be guided by them in turn
