Willow Oak Montessori offers more than just a place to work—we offer a space where your voice is heard, your growth is supported, and your passion for nurturing young minds is celebrated. When you join our team, you're becoming part of a community that values curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning. Our thoughtfully prepared classrooms empower children to learn at their own pace, and we trust our educators as the experts they are to guide students with care, creativity, and insight.

Whether you're a certified Montessori teacher or someone exploring a new path in education, we’re looking for compassionate, motivated individuals who believe in the power of respectful, equitable, child-centered learning in keeping with the philosophy articulated by Dr. Maria Montessori.

Why Work With Us?

• Purposeful Work: Help children develop into confident, capable individuals through a proven educational approach based on fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. Watch students thrive in a setting that respects their pace and interests.

• Supportive Culture: Join a team that values collaboration, open communication, and mutual respect. Montessori environments emphasize respect—not just from teacher to student, but also peer to peer and among staff. We really enjoy and support each other!

• Professional Growth: We encourage and financially assist with Montessori certification opportunities as well as other training and learning opportunities. Many members of our staff have held a variety of roles in our community, and we encourage all our staff members to pursue their own learning and growing journey.

• Community Connection: Be part of a school that values relationships—with families, with each other, and with the wider world. Because we are a small school - about 320 students ages 3 through 8th grade - and all students spend multiple years in each classroom, students and families get to know their teachers well and often form close bonds.

• Benefits & Compensation: WOM aims to provide fair compensation commensurate with experience and a living wage to all our employees. In addition, all full-time employees have access to health, dental, vision, and life insurance as well as a retirement plan with employer match. You’ll also get paid leave during school breaks in the Fall, Winter, and Spring as well as PTO days you can use when you’d like.
