Assistant teacher, with the possibility of becoming a partner and co-teacher leader to lead and manage a thriving non-profit Montessori school in San Jose, CA

Contact: learning@wildflowerschools.org

Build a public Montessori school from the ground up — as a Founding Administrative Partner or a Founding Teacher Leader.

Wildflower is seeking entrepreneurial school leaders and experienced Montessori educators to join founding teams that will design, launch, and eventually lead teacher-led public charter Montessori schools. Founding teams are built around two co-founder roles working side by side:

Founding Administrative Partner — builds and coordinates the charter-wide systems (governance, authorizer relations, finance, HR, compliance, data, enrollment, communications, technology) that let the school operate as a compliant, sustainable public institution. The Administrative Partner serves as the Charter Leader, while the Teacher Leader stewards the school site and its educational program.

Founding Teacher Leader — an experienced Montessori educator who co-develops the educational vision, school culture, and learning environment, and will lead their own classroom in the school they built.

As a Founding Administrative Partner and/or Founding Teacher Leader, you will participate in the Wildflower Charter Incubator, a structured program combining coaching, practical work, and individualized support to prepare you for charter application, authorization, and school opening.

These founder pathways will have a paid teaching and leadership role at the end of it, but are not immediate employment positions.

About the Opportunity

Administrative Partners and Teacher Leaders share leadership, making decisions collaboratively. Both move through the Wildflower Charter Incubator and complete its readiness milestones, and both contribute to charter application development and authorization. Beyond that shared foundation, each partner brings distinct work:

Founding Administrative Partners:

– Co-create the operational, governance, and financial foundation of a future Wildflower charter school.

– Build relationships with communities, authorizers, and founding board members.

– Develop systems for enrollment, finance, compliance, governance, and operations.

– Help assemble the partnerships, fundraising, and organizational infrastructure needed to launch a sustainable public Montessori school.

Founding Teacher Leaders:

– Co-develop the educational vision, school culture, and learning environment.

– Build relationships with families, community organizations, and local partners.

– Help recruit founding board members and future Teacher Leaders.

– Develop enrollment strategies that make Montessori available to more families.

– Create systems that allow educators to lead together through shared governance.

– Prepare to launch and lead their own Montessori classroom as a co-founder.

During the Incubator

The Incubator begins with six weeks of structured work alongside a small group of founding teams, followed by four weeks of individual coaching and integration sessions with your team. Support continues as teams move toward application and launch, and includes:

– Readiness reviews and milestone feedback

– Charter application development and authorization preparation

– Governance and board development / shared leadership

– Financial modeling, fundraising planning, and financial sustainability

– Community engagement, family engagement, and enrollment strategy

– Montessori program design and community-rooted school design

– Team development

– Long-term school startup planning

Who We’re Looking For

For the Administrative Partner role, strong candidates may have experience in school leadership, charter schools, nonprofit management, business operations, finance, project management, public administration, or community organizing. No single background is required; what matters is you’re ready to build.

For the Teacher Leader role, we’re seeking experienced Montessori educators who don’t want to choose between the classroom and leadership. Founding Teacher Leaders do both, guiding children every day while creating an entirely new public school around them. Strong candidates typically have:

MACTE-accredited Montessori certification (AMI, AMS, or equivalent)

– Several years of Montessori classroom experience

– Deep respect for child-centered learning

– Strong relationships in the community they hope to serve

– A desire to expand access to public Montessori education

For both roles, you believe in the teacher-leader school model, that schools should be deeply rooted in the communities they serve, that public Montessori should be open to every family, and that leadership is shared and relational. Successful founders are builders and systems thinkers: comfortable with ambiguity, energized by creating something that doesn’t yet exist, curious, collaborative, resilient, and motivated by long-term impact, always keeping the mission at the center.

Compensation

Participation in the Wildflower Charter Incubator is unpaid. This is a founding journey, and like most founding journeys, the compensation comes when the organization you build comes to life.

Founding teams typically spend 6 to 12 months developing a charter application and securing authorization, then another 6 to 12 months preparing for launch. Once a school is authorized and moves into implementation, founders transition into paid leadership positions within the school they have created, with Teacher Leaders leading their own classrooms. Post-launch salaries typically range from $70,000 to $100,000, depending on the school’s location and state funding levels.

Commitment

Launching a Wildflower charter school is comparable to starting a mission-driven social enterprise: it calls for persistence, collaboration, and sustained effort over several years. You won’t do it alone. Throughout the process, you’ll have coaching, practical tools, and the broader Wildflower network behind you, while retaining full ownership of building a school that reflects your community and vision.

Geographic Consideration

Where you build matters. Charter law, authorizer relationships, and funding conditions vary widely by state, so Wildflower is focused on places where a new charter school can realistically succeed: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and parts of Upstate New York.

New Wildflower charter schools are not currently viable in California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, or Washington state. If you’re in one of these locations and this work speaks to you, Wildflower’s independent school pathway and openings at existing Wildflower charter schools may be a better fit.

About Wildflower Schools

Wildflower is a national network of more than 80 small, teacher-led, community-embedded Montessori schools across 22 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. Each school is founded and led by its educators and deeply rooted in the neighborhood it serves. Wildflower believes children are fundamentally peaceful, curious, and good, and that schools only work for children and families if they also work for educators — which is why Wildflower schools are built and led by the people closest to the children.

Wildflower’s public charter schools are tuition-free and open to every family regardless of income. Founding teams are supported by The Wildflower Foundation, which provides startup capital, coaching and tools, and a national community of Teacher Leaders who have walked this path themselves.

Montessori Co-Lead or Assistant

We are a school with a lot of opinions about getting kids outside. If “freedom of movement” sounds like a philosophy and also a daily logistical adventure, you’ll fit right in.

We’re a nature-focused, indoor-outdoor school where children spend meaningful chunks of their day outside, and we’re a small, close-knit community with a low-drama, high-collaboration culture. No one is exempt from diaper changes here!

The best part–our campus. You will be part of the first team to serve children at our newest location — 7 acres of beauty, where rabbits, chickens, ducks and goats will roam alongside our students. A babbling creek, wooded acreage for exploring, abundant raised garden beds and even an apiary for our honeybees. A true Montessori dream campus.

The Schedule

This role can be part or full-time depending on your preference and need. Our Toddler Community program is half-day, but we also offer afternoon programming which you could be a part of if additional hours are desired.

The Role

You’ll work closely with a Lead Teacher in a classroom of 1-3 year olds, helping prepare the environment, supporting daily routines, and guiding our youngest students towards independence.

It’s not all fun and games, though—you’ll help children learn to use the toilet independently, handled with the same warmth and patience as everything else. You’ll build real relationships with the children and their families, and you’ll be a steady, familiar presence in the classroom day to day.

We are open to someone without a credential joining as an assistant (and can offer you MACTE accredited Montessori training in-house if interested!) or a credentialed teacher who would like to join our amazing Toddler Guide as her co-lead.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of experience, but you do need the right temperament. What matters most:

Genuine warmth and patience with young children, including on the harder days

Comfort being outside in real weather, not just nice-day weather

Reliability and follow-through, since the classroom depends on you showing up (we don’t play around about attendance here!)

A collaborative mindset. You’re a true partner to your lead teacher, not just an extra set of hands

A sense of humor, because you will need it 🙂

What You’ll Get

Hands-on experience in a classroom that takes early childhood seriously without taking itself too seriously, mentorship from an experienced lead teacher, and a genuine sense of belonging to a small, tight-knit team.

30 days of paid time off plus up to 12 paid sick days.

The opportunity to be part of a living Montessori lab school where we grow Montessori educators with the same care and intention that we do children.

Summers optional

Unlimited bunny snuggles.

To Apply

Tell us a bit about yourself and why working with young children matters to you and why you want to do it at The Garden in particular. We’d love to hear it in your own words.

Contact: ellen@thegardenschools.com

Co-Lead Primary Montessori Guide

The Garden Progressive Montessori

Charlotte, North Carolina

We’re a Montessori school, but we’re not that Montessori school. We don’t have a lot of rules about keeping your voice down, but we do have a lot of opinions about developmentally appropriate education and getting kids outside. If you are a lifelong learner, patient, flexible and adaptable and you believe that children deserve to be treated with respect and really seen for the magic they bring to the world, you’ll fit right in here.

The Garden Progressive Montessori is a school where children are free to learn indoors or out, following their curiosity through the environment we’ve built with them in mind. We’re a small, close-knit community with a low-drama, high-collaboration culture. Everyone pitches in. Nobody here is above cleaning up a potty accident or taking out the trash.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be co-leading a Primary (3-6) classroom alongside another trained guide, which means you get a genuine thought partner and someone to back you up when a child has decided today is the day they will only communicate through animal sounds. You’ll prepare a beautiful, well-tended environment, observe and follow children’s developmental needs, build relationships with families, and contribute to a community that takes its work seriously without taking itself too seriously.

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you hold a Montessori Primary credential and have classroom experience. That said, if you’re deeply aligned with Montessori philosophy and ready to pursue training, we’re open to that conversation. You could start out as an assistant and develop your skills together until you’re ready to take on the role of lead guide. What we’re not flexible on is disposition: we need someone who is authentic, calm, and genuinely okay with mud.

You’re a good fit if you:

• Love being outside and don’t consider rainfall a valid reason to cancel anything.

Thrive in a collaborative environment and find drama exhausting.

• Believe children are capable and interesting, not problems to be managed.

• Can hold a prepared environment and a sense of humor at the same time.

• Are willing to participate in, or at minimum enthusiastically spectate, staff karaoke night.

The Details

We are closed on Fridays. Summers are optional. We strive for a culture that supports people doing their best work without burning out. We know this work requires time outside of the classroom to plan, record, prepare and grow into our potential.

We’ve been at this since 2012 and have grown into a small network of schools serving children from infancy through elementary age. Small enough that you’ll know everyone. Established enough that we know what we’re doing and backed by a long history of success.

Compensation and Benefits

We believe in transparency. Please refer to the compensation and benefits overview for full details.

To Apply

Send us a note that tells us who you are and why this sounds like your kind of place. A resume is great. A cover letter that sounds like you wrote it (not an AI bot) is a bonus.
