About this role
Guidepost Montessori in Waldorf is building a substitute teacher pool to cover classrooms serving infants through six-year-olds across their mixed-age Montessori program. This is an on-call, as-needed position that offers genuine flexibility—you work the hours and days the school needs coverage, making it suitable for anyone seeking part-time or supplemental income without a fixed schedule. You'll step in to support classroom routines, activities, and transitions while maintaining a calm, nurturing environment; no prior Montessori training is required, as the school provides orientation and onboarding.
The role pays $17–$19 per hour and calls for a warm, patient demeanor, strong communication skills, and a genuine interest in early childhood. You'll need to meet state requirements, pass a background check, and provide proof of a negative TB test from the past year. Many substitutes at Guidepost move into full-time Assistant Teacher positions, so this can serve as an entry point into the organization if you're exploring a longer-term career in early education.
