Employment

Looking for a meaningful job, full of fun and never a dull moment? Come join our team!

We are not your average childcare. Here is why Spokane Falls Montessori is different:

  • Positive and welcoming working environment—all staff are valued and honored for their unique and abilities and skills
  • Supportive and generous parents and families
  • Montessori children are more independent, driven, and task-orientated making our classrooms calmer and more peaceful than a traditional preschool
  • We use primary care groups so each teacher has a small amount of children they get to teach, bond with, and enjoy!
  • We have low ratios (1:4 infant, 1:5 toddler, 1:8 preschool)
  • We practice positive discipline and actively engage with children making transitions and teachable moments less tense and stressful
  • We have a competitive wage scale in which pay rates are reflected by position and education qualifications
  • A raise will be granted after initial training requirements are complete
  • We close for most holidays as well as for Spring Break and Winter Break
  • Schedules are consistent
  • Unless specifically hired to work in multiple classrooms, you will consistently be in the classroom you were hired for
  • We are rated highly in Early Achievers
  • Access to the EAG scholarships for pursuit of an approved Early Childhood Education stackable certificate or associate degree (stipulations apply)

What we will ask of you:

  • No experience in Montessori? Not a problem! We will train the right person. We will even pay for your Montessori teaching certificate if you are interested (conditions apply)
  • Submit and pass a background check through MERIT upon submitting a resume
  • Complete other DCYF requirements within a timely manner
  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Be reliable
  • Be able to lift up to 40 pounds
  • Be able to get up and down from the floor, and sit on the floor for extended periods
  • Be kind, caring, consistent, and compassionate!
