Do work that matters, every single day.

Picture a toddler asking for “agua, please,” or a three-year-old proudly zipping her own coat and announcing “¡Lo hice!” At Guidepost Montessori, moments like these happen all day long, and as a Bilingual Assistant Guide, you help make them possible.

We’re hiring warm, dependable bilingual (English/Spanish) Assistant Guides to join our team at Guidepost Montessori at Prosperity. Here, you’ll help children ages 0–6 build independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning, in two languages.

If you love working with young children and want to grow in a supportive, purpose-driven place, we’d love to meet you.

Your Impact

As a Bilingual Assistant Guide, you’ll support our Infant, Toddler, and Children’s House (ages 3–6) classrooms. You’ll help create a calm, engaging place where children explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.

Your Spanish matters here. Through everyday conversation, songs, stories, and routines, you’ll help children hear and use a second language naturally, at the age when they pick it up most easily. You’ll also help prepare beautiful, intentional learning spaces and support children in individual and small-group activities, always with respect, patience, and care.

As the closing-shift Assistant Guide, you’ll be a familiar, friendly face at the end of each day. You’ll help children wind down, keep the classroom calm and ready for tomorrow, and greet families at pickup.

Most importantly, you’ll help children build confidence and discover what they’re capable of.

What You’ll Do

Speak with children in Spanish throughout the day so the language becomes a natural part of their routine

Share songs, books, and cultural traditions that bring Spanish to life

Observe children closely to understand and support each child’s needs

Help prepare and maintain a beautiful, orderly classroom

Support individual and small-group learning activities

Build warm, respectful relationships with children and families, including Spanish-speaking families

Work alongside Lead Guides and the rest of the team to build a strong classroom community

Help close the classroom each afternoon and connect with families at pickup

What We’re Looking For

Fluency in both English and Spanish, spoken

Experience working with young children (infants through age 6) in a school or childcare setting

Availability to work the Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM closing shift consistently

A positive, flexible, and team-minded attitude

A love for working with young children

Curiosity about the Montessori approach (Montessori experience is welcome but not required; we’ll show you the ropes)

What We Offer

$16–$19 per hour, based on experience

Fully sponsored Montessori diploma training through the Prepared Montessorian Institute. You can earn a respected teaching credential without paying for it, which opens a path to becoming a Lead Guide.

Ongoing professional development and mentorship

75% tuition discount for up to two children at any Guidepost school

Health, dental, and vision insurance

Paid time off and paid holidays

Plenty of opportunities to grow and advance your career

A supportive network of peers who value collaboration and shared best practices
