Bay Montessori School was founded in 1994 and is a member AMS school offering a comprehensive Montessori program for children ages 6 weeks to 8th grade. Located on 13 acres in Lexington Park, Maryland, our campus includes well-equipped classrooms, library, pool, art studio, STEM lab and age-appropriate playgrounds. The classroom environments follow the pattern set by Dr. Maria Montessori, specifically catering to the developmental needs of each child. Our facility allows children room to spread their wings and to experience nature while being conveniently located near Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
We are currently seeking a dedicated Preschool Assistant and Lead Aftercare Teacher to join our team full-time. The ideal candidate is passionate about working with young children, brings a warm and nurturing presence to the classroom, and thrives as part of a collaborative team. Experience with Montessori pedagogy is highly valued, as is a genuine love for supporting children’s growth and development in a peaceful, child-centered environment. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with our Montessori guides during the school day and to lead our Aftercare program, providing a consistent, caring environment for children throughout their day. While we hope to find one full-time candidate, we are also open to splitting this into two part-time positions – one for the Preschool Assistant role and one for the Lead Aftercare teacher – for the right candidates. Coursework in early childhood education is required, and preference will be given to candidates who have Montessori training and/or a college degree.
