Little Star School is a Montessori-inspired, non-profit school in the beautiful Methow Valley, serving over 125 students ages 0-6. Our multi-age Early Childhood (ages 3-6) classroom environment provides an exciting and stimulating experience for children, and fosters great joy in learning as they make their own choices and discoveries. Students also enjoy plenty of time outside, both on our large play yard and on walking fieldtrips.

Afternoons flow into lunch, rest and activities or more outside time. You will work with your co-teacher to implement Little Star’s curriculum and also have the creativity to add on and build your own. Little Star emphasizes a prepared environment for the students with practical life activities, imagination play, Montessori materials, art stations and sensorial work. Following the lead of the students, teachers weave in cooking, storytelling, art, history, geography, music, Spanish and other activities and lessons.

We are seeking educators with experience working with preschool-aged children who have the knowledge and skills to lead a classroom, who are nurturing, kind and respectful, with an open and welcoming attitude towards all children and families.

The position is 32-40 hours/4-5 days per week, year-round.

Compensation starts at $18-$22/hour, a 3% retirement match, $750 annual health stipend, 50% off your own child's enrollment at Little Star, and accrued PTO.
