Your Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated Lead Guide (Teacher) to support a mixed-age class of toddler age children in a Montessori environment. 
In a Montessori community, guides (teachers) carefully prepare an environment that fosters independence and captivates a child's interest. Guides provide personalized support to each child. They work with children individually and in small groups, demonstrating how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving precise language to understand their experiences. 
Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want. Most importantly, the support and materials help every child develop skills, confidence, and a firm conviction that they are capable. 
We're looking for a Lead Guide who will bring their best in order to support every child in reaching their highest potential!

A Guidepost Montessori toddler space features:
<ul>
<li>Abundant open space to move and explore </li>
<li>Child-sized furniture and objects to facilitate independence </li>
<li>Curriculum for independence in: dressing themselves, feeding themselves, toilet learning etc.</li>
<li>Scientifically designed learning materials to develop fine and gross motor skills and so much more </li>
<li>Cozy rugs, real plants, and plenty of natural light</li>
<li>Breakable objects made from natural materials like wood, metal, and glass rather than plastic</li>
<li>Objects to climb, crawl over, and explore instead of baby-holding devices like walkers and highchairs </li>
</ul>
If you're passionate about giving children the tools they need to succeed, eager to partner with parents on their child's journey, and longing to join a collaborative community of peers, then the team at Guidepost Montessori would love to hear from you!

The Opportunity: We are seeking lead teachers with experience in elementary school education to provide instruction in Mandarin Chinese at Global Citizens Public Charter School (Global Citizens PCS) for the 2025-2026 school year. Global Citizens PCS is the first dual language immersion elementary school in Washington, DC, to offer language immersion in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish pathways - exposing students to the top three languages spoken in the world. Paired with a focus on social justice and whole child wellness, Global Citizens PCS equips children to become empathetic, globally competent, and socially-minded leaders who are prepared for a future we cannot yet imagine. Global Citizens PCS opened in Ward 7 to provide children and their families living east of the Anacostia River with equitable access to dual language immersion programs. This position offers an incredible opportunity to work alongside a founding team, within an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment focused on improving educational opportunities for all students, especially those who are most marginalized and undervalued.

All of our children will develop a sense of self and a sense of belonging, build empathy and emotional resilience, learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives, and challenge themselves to take action to improve the world.
 
Philosophy: We believe that all cultures have richness and value, deserve respect and consideration, and do not belong to a hierarchy. At Global Citizens PCS, we will continually examine our teaching and curricula to ensure we incorporate multiple perspectives from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences, including the experiences of our students, families, communities, and staff.
