Toddler Teacher (Perrysburg Campus)
West Side Montessori, Perrysburg Campus, has an opening for a full-time toddler teacher beginning August 2025.
Would you enjoy a work environment where you sit on the floor with toddlers in your lap and read, sing songs about a little spider, stop to jump in puddles and find worms, and celebrate with a child when they pour their own cup of water by himself for snacktime or when a toddler finally zips her own coat for the first time? If so, we’d like to hear from you!
Our toddler program serves children ages 13 months to 3 years. We are one of the largest private Montessori schools in the country and are accredited by the American Montessori Society.
