What are the responsibilities and job description for the Teaching Assistant - Children's House position at West Side Montessori?
Would you enjoy a work environment where you join a preschool classroom for their lunch, helping the children be as independent as possible while still enjoying opportunities to sit and chat with them, listen to soft music in a darkened room as you help preschool children nap, after school play board games, read books and build with all sorts of different materials or…spend your afternoon outside on our beautiful playground? If so, we’d like to hear from you!
