The Guadalupe Montessori School is currently accepting applications for the lead guide position in our Primary Sunflower Community. The lead guide is responsible for the daily operations of a small classroom of 3-5 year olds, including managing classroom assistants, creating lesson plans, and completing required record keeping and documentation for the NM PreK program. In response to COVID, all in person programming takes place in outdoor learning environments. The ideal applicant will be AMI certified at the Primary level, but applicants with significant experience in Early Childhood Education and a willingness to learn about Montessori pedagogy will be seriously considered.

Applicants must be willing to work in person with children and be committed to following COVID safe practices. Final employment requires successfully passing a background check and providing the results of a current negative COVID test. Some online training will be required within 6 months of hire.
