About Us
Provident Montessori School is a small, community-oriented Montessori program in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, founded by an AMI-trained husband-and-wife team. We serve children from two to six and a half years across our Young Children's Community and Casa classrooms, nurturing independence, curiosity, concentration, and a lifelong love of learning through authentic Montessori practice.

About the Position
Provident Montessori School is seeking a Montessori Certified Junior Teacher for our Casa classroom. This is a hybrid role between our Assistant and Lead Guide positions: the Junior Teacher works alongside an established Lead Guide, taking on real teaching responsibility — giving lessons, leading small groups, and building relationships with children and families — while also providing day-to-day classroom support. We see this as a genuine three-to-five-year pathway toward independently leading a Casa classroom.

Our ideal candidate holds an AMI Primary Diploma (required) and a Bachelor's degree or higher, with a strong appetite to learn from an experienced guide and grow into classroom leadership. Prior experience with 3-to-6-year-olds is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Give individual and small-group lessons under supervision, with growing independence across the curriculum

• Support children's learning with Montessori materials throughout the day

• Record observations of children's activities and progress

• Build relationships with families at drop-off and pick-up

• Participate in parent/teacher conferences alongside the Lead Guide

• Prepare and maintain the classroom environment

• Collaborate with staff and contribute to staff meetings

• Supervise outdoor play time

Qualifications

• AMI Diploma for Casa dei Bambini (2.5–6), or in the final stages of completing one

• Bachelor's degree or higher

• 12 ECE semester units (the AMI Diploma may meet this requirement)

• Criminal and background clearance

• Able to lift 40 lbs

• Up-to-date on required immunizations

Compliance (California Title 22)
Employment is conditional on meeting California Community Care Licensing (Title 22) requirements, including Live Scan fingerprinting with DOJ/FBI and CACI clearance, TB clearance, Mandated Reporter training, and pediatric CPR/First Aid certification.

Benefits
Competitive pay commensurate with experience; 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental coverage; HSA with employer match; 401(k) with 3% employer match; paid holidays, paid time off and bereavement leave; ongoing Montessori mentorship with a genuine pathway to a Lead Teacher role.

Our Commitment
Provident Montessori School welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds and does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or physical or mental ability, or any other status protected under applicable law.

How to Apply
Please send the following to admissions@providentmontessori.com:
1. A short cover letter
2. Your CV/resume, including the AMI Diploma
3. A minimum of two reference letters (a combination of professional, academic, and/or personal)

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
