This is an especially exciting time to join Marin Montessori School, a highly regarded Bay Area independent school accredited by both the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS). For over 60 years, we have served the families of Marin County, providing a rich and authentic Montessori education that nurtures the development of the whole child-intellectually, physically, socially, creatively, and emotionally.

Located on a stunning waterfront campus, our children enjoy expansive indoor-outdoor learning experiences year-round. Our sunlit classrooms and vibrant outdoor environments foster curiosity and independence. We are a collaborative, joyful community of educators, students, families, and administrators, all aligned in our mission: to guide children to become independent, responsible, compassionate individuals who think critically and understand their role in the world.

We are currently seeking a warm, engaging, and bilingual Early Childhood Spanish Specialist and Support Assistant to join our Toddler and Primary teams. This individual will play a dual role-providing Spanish language exposure through songs, movement, and storytelling, while also supporting classroom needs and transitions throughout the day.

Key Responsibilities:

- Deliver meaningful Spanish language experiences by naming objects, leading songs, and engaging in Spanish-language dialogue with children
- Provide breaks for Guides and Assistants during the day
- Support classroom activities and child supervision both indoors and outdoors
- Help with transitions such as arrival, walks, naps, and dismissal
- Assist with toilet learning and daily hygiene routines
- Replenish supplies and help with classroom maintenance and cleaning
- Engage in small group activities in Spanish, such as singing, reading, and movement games
- Prepare and maintain Montessori materials (sewing, laminating, printing)
- Assist with gardening and light outdoor work

Required Qualifications:

- A minimum of 6 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units; must be willing to complete 12 units promptly
- Fluency in Spanish and English
- A joyful, flexible, and collaborative attitude
- A genuine respect for and interest in young children
- Ability to lift up to 40 pounds and move comfortably between floor and standing positions
- Ability to pass a criminal background check
- Three professional references from recent supervisors

Preferred Qualifications:

- 12 or more ECE credits
- Bachelor's degree
- Experience working in a Montessori setting
- Familiarity with Montessori philosophy and practices
