Preschool / Montessori Teacher
Your morning begins at 8:30 AM welcoming 20 three-year-olds into a Montessori classroom set with purposeful play activities — guiding a child through a Pink Tower exercise, facilitating a sensory bin exploration, and conducting a gentle group circle time with songs and story-telling that builds vocabulary and emotional regulation. Afternoons involve documenting individual developmental observations, preparing the next week's activity materials, and conducting a parent-teacher progress communication.
