Lexington Montessori School is looking for an assistant teacher for our toddler program. From 21 months to three years old, children develop some of their first relationships outside the home. In this nurturing environment, toddlers learn to trust adults and independently to carry out many everyday tasks.

This is a dual position and tied to the before and after school care program. Schedule is five days a week from 10:30 to 5:00. Because of the fluent nature of the before and after care program, these hours are subject to change. *A description is below.

*After School Toddler Teacher

The Assistant Teacher doubles as an after-school teacher for toddlers. In addition to being a co-lead teacher for after-school toddlers, this person will also assist with lunch and nap in the toddler classroom in the early afternoon. In after-school, children have fun indoors and outdoors at the end of their school day, all of this framed by the same Montessori philosophy they follow during the rest of their day. The teacher guides children’s independence and choice, provides a safe, caring environment and creates/shares activities.
