At Sonnet Montessori, we're on a mission to put good humans into the world and leave it better than we found it. Our team creates warm, inclusive, and joyful environments where children, families, and staff can thrive. If you're energized by purpose, connection, and meaningful work, you'll love being part of a community that invests in your growth and celebrates what makes you exceptional.  


The Lead Educator plays an essential role in creating a nurturing, safe, and engaging Montessori learning environment for our students.

  • Prepare, present, and maintain Montessori materials and curriculum.
  • Guide children with respect, fostering independence and supporting their natural curiosity.
  • Communicate daily with parents through the parent communication app and regular conferences/newsletters.
  • Build strong, collaborative relationships with assistant guides and staff.
  • Ensure compliance with state licensing standards and school policies.
  • Lead parent-teacher conferences and provide consistent updates on student progress.
  • Participate in staff meetings, school events, and professional development opportunities.

  • Strong classroom management and organizational skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., actively supervise children indoors/outdoors, and meet physical demands of the role.
  • CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with children, families, and staff.
  • Commitment to ongoing professional development and Montessori philosophy.
  • Montessori training is preferred. Successful candidates not yet certified are encouraged to apply and will be supported in completing training after hire within an agreed-upon timeframe. Montessori certification is a valuable professional credential and transferable skill that can be completed in as little as 9-12 months. Ask us for more information and to learn about employer-sponsored training options.

What We Offer:

  • Ongoing Professional Development & Growth Opportunities
  • 401(k) Plan
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays
  • Employee Childcare Discount
