Key Responsibilities
The Casa Montessori Assistant works under the direction of the AMI Montessori Guide, supporting the Guide’s work and collaborating with the teaching team rather than independently directing the classroom.

Supporting the Montessori Environment & Guide

Prepare and maintain Montessori materials and classroom resources.

Support and protect the Guide’s time for presentations and observations and protect children’s concentration throughout the three-hour work cycle.

Support children in developing independence, confidence, grace and courtesy, social skills, and respectful behaviour.

Observe children and communicate relevant observations to the Montessori Guide.

Support children’s safety, health, and emotional well-being.

Maintain the cleanliness, organization, and readiness of the classroom throughout the day, including daily cleaning and end-of-day reset.

Record observations and other required information accurately using the school’s online systems and tools.

Teamwork & Professional Responsibilities

Communicate openly and respectfully with the Guide and teaching team.

Bring forward constructive ideas, observations, and concerns.

Participate in meetings, training, professional development, and school events as required.

Flexibility & Growth
The duties of the Montessori Assistant may evolve over time based on the needs of the children, classroom, Guide, team, and school. We value team members who are confident enough to communicate openly and share ideas, and humble enough to listen, receive feedback, and continually improve.

Contributions that strengthen the classroom, team, and overall program are highly valued.
