Montessori Guide (Ages 1yr-2yrs)

Are you passionate about Montessori education and early childhood development? Do you love the idea of spending your days exploring nature, nurturing young minds, and being part of a supportive, purpose-driven community?

Countryside Montessori Day School is seeking a full-time Toddler Guide to join our team and care for our littlest learners (ages 1–2).

About Us:

Since 2007, Countryside has been a trusted leader in Montessori education in the Kansas City Northland. Located just 10 minutes from KCI Airport, our school is tucked away on 80 acres of gorgeous, family-owned countryside, where children ages 6 weeks to 12 years grow, explore, and learn in a rich, natural environment.

Our toddler program is a warm, peaceful space designed to foster independence, communication, and connection in our youngest students. We follow a traditional Montessori approach and spend time outside every single day—whether it’s sunny, snowy, or somewhere in between.

What You’ll Do:

• Engage with toddlers in a calm, respectful, and joyful way
• Support diapering, toileting, cleaning, and daily care routines
• Help plan, rotate, and present age-appropriate Montessori materials
• Maintain a clean, safe, and prepared environment
• Communicate positively and professionally with families and coworkers
• Spend meaningful time outdoors with the children—in all types of weather
• Work closely with a team that values collaboration, flexibility, and kindness

What We’re Looking For:

• A gentle, dependable caregiver with a passion for working with toddlers
• Someone who can stay calm, organized, and joyful in a busy classroom
• A team player who values clear communication and consistency
• Experience in Montessori or early childhood education is preferred
• Someone open to training and long-term growth in the Montessori method
• Comfort with routine physical tasks (bending, lifting, diaper changes, etc.)

What We Offer:

• A beautiful, nature-immersed work environment like no other
• Supportive leadership and a close-knit, passionate team
• Opportunities for professional development and Montessori certification
• Casual dress code (modesty required), freedom to be yourself
• A meaningful role where your work makes a lasting difference

This is a full-time position. Referrals from previous employers, mentors, or supervisors are required when submitting your resume.
