Inspire Young Minds. Shape the Future. Join Guidepost Montessori at Wilton!

Do you believe children are capable of incredible things?
At Guidepost Montessori at Wilton, we’re on a mission to help children discover their independence, build confidence, and fall in love with learning—for life.

We’re searching for warm, adaptable, and dedicated Assistant Guides (Teachers) to join our joyful community and support children ages 0–6 in our beautifully prepared Montessori classrooms.


Why You’ll Love Working With Us

At Guidepost, you’re not just helping children learn—you’re empowering them to thrive.

  • Empower Independence – Watch children light up as they master new skills on their own.

  • Inspire Curiosity – Help create an environment where exploration and discovery are encouraged every day.

  • Build Lifelong Skills – Guide children toward confidence, resilience, and a true love for learning.


Your Role

As an Assistant Guide, you’ll partner with our Lead Guides to:

  • Carefully observe and understand each child’s unique needs.

  • Prepare a beautiful, orderly, and engaging classroom that fosters focus and independence.

  • Offer gentle, one-on-one and small-group lessons that meet each child where they are.

  • Build authentic relationships with every child and family, creating a caring and respectful community.


What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working with young children in a school or caregiving setting (Montessori experience is a plus—but not required!)

  • A genuine love for children and respect for their amazing capabilities.

  • Adaptability, collaboration, and a growth mindset.


What We Offer

  • Fully sponsored Montessori training through the Prepared Montessorian Institute.

  • 75% tuition discount for up to two children at any school in our network (serving ages 3 months–Elementary).
