The Montessori School of Silicon Valley is searching for a Montessori-certified (or soon-to-be-certified) Toddler Lead Teacher to join our warm and supportive, year-round program!

At our school, we believe that the toddler years are a magical time—full of exploration, discovery, and big emotions.

We’re a diverse and collaborative community of educators and families who value strong relationships and a child-centered approach.


What Makes You a Great Fit:

  • Adaptability to welcome and guide children as they transition into our program.
  • A warm, inclusive approach to working with diverse cultures and family backgrounds.
  • A passion for creating a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment for exploration and movement.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to document children's progress and milestones.
  • Enthusiasm for collaborating with families and encouraging parent involvement!

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Enrollment in or completion of a MACTE-accredited Montessori Infant/Toddler training program (in coursework or internship phase).
  • Willingness to train with an experienced Montessori guide for 6-9 months before leading your own toddler classroom.
  • AA or BA degree preferred, but not required.
  • CPR and First Aid certification.
  • At least 1 year of experience in a Montessori toddler classroom.

What We Offer:

  • A full-time, year-round position with a competitive salary.
