Education & TrainingEarly Childhood Teacher

At Guidepost Montessori, we believe great teachers come from many different educational backgrounds. You do not need Montessori experience or certification to apply! If you have early childhood education experience, meet Illinois Lead Teacher qualifications and are passionate about helping young children grow, we can provide the Montessori training you need to succeed.

We offer the opportunity to earn a fully sponsored Montessori diploma through our Prepared Montessorian Institute (PMI) while gaining hands-on experience in a supportive classroom environment.

At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Toddler Guides create calm, purposeful environments where curiosity, independence and confidence grow every day.

If you're passionate about early childhood development and ready to lead a classroom designed for exploration and independence, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

As a Lead Toddler Teacher (Lead Guide), you'll lead a classroom of children ages 2–3 in a Montessori environment thoughtfully designed to support children during one of the most formative stages of development.

Montessori guides prepare beautiful, orderly environments that invite exploration and support independence. Through careful observation, individualized lessons and respectful guidance, you'll help each child develop language, coordination, self-regulation and confidence.

Your leadership will empower toddlers to explore freely, make choices and take pride in what they can accomplish, laying the foundation for lifelong learning.
