Seeking a Montessori Preschool Guide (ages 3–7)
For ages 3-7. Ideally, you have Montessori training and certification.
We are currently seeking a full-time Montessori-trained guide for our Preschool Studio (Spark Program) that serves children between the ages of 3 and 7.
This is not a daycare or traditional preschool. It is a pure Montessori environment rooted in real work, deep play, and a belief in the incredible potential of every child.
Some of the qualities we are looking for:
You love being around very young children and understand the balance between observation, patience, and gentle redirection.
You believe that children are capable when given the right environment.
You are Montessori trained or have worked in a pure Montessori environment and deeply understand the philosophy—not just the materials.
You are calm, grounded, and observant, even when things feel chaotic on the surface.
You believe that independence is something to be nurtured early.
You are physically active, emotionally mature, and can handle the energy of a room full of curious young minds with ease.
You are comfortable with nature play, loose parts play, and allowing unstructured exploration.
You are fluent in English and can model clear, respectful communication.
Bonus points for:
AMI, IMTC or AMS certification (or any reputable Montessori diploma program completed).
Experience working in a fully Montessori environment with mixed-age classrooms.
Understanding of positive discipline and non-punitive classroom management.
Familiarity with the Montessori scope and sequence from Practical Life to Language and Math.
Comfort with documenting observations and communicating with parents respectfully and clearly.
Working knowledge of Hindi and/or Marathi (helpful but not required).
Your responsibilities:
Be the prepared adult in a prepared environment—calm, consistent, and intentional in your words and actions.
Maintain and enhance the Montessori environment, ensuring that materials are readily available, relevant, and respected.
Observe and follow the child—guiding, not teaching—as they work through Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, and Culture materials.
Gently redirect behaviours without coercion or shame, using curiosity and grace to help children return to purposeful work.
Collaborate with our team to incorporate outdoor play, storytelling, art, music, and loose parts exploration into the daily routine.
Track individual progress through daily observation and light documentation—not for grades, but for growth.
Location & Timings
Our studio is located in Sopan Baug, Pune.
We work from Monday to Friday, with working hours typically between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Occasionally, meetings may extend beyond this schedule.
Remuneration
Between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 35,000 per month, based on experience and training.

Seeking a guide for our Elementary & MS Programs
For ages 7-15.
We are currently seeking a guide (facilitator) for our new elementary studio that serves children between the ages of 6 and 15.
Some of the qualities we are looking for:
You are fine with dealing with new things. We are a distinctly different kind of learning program. Many things may need to be unlearned.
You are kind, but you can also be firm at the same time.
Your friends describe you as an organised person who plans ahead.
You can quickly learn and teach yourself things you haven’t encountered before.
You are technologically savvy. You know your way around the internet, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, AI, email, etc.
You are conversant in English.
Bonus points for:
Knowing what Socratic discussions are — additional points for leading them in the past.
You have received Montessori-based training and have experience working with young children.
(Teaching experience not required).Having actual “guide” experience in which you mentored children or peers. (Scout guides, Sports coaches, etc.)
Knowledge of additional languages besides English. Especially Hindi & Marathi.
Your responsibilities:
You will be a guide for our Elementary & MS Studios at Flourish in Pune.
You will lead our daily Socratic discussions, help our young learners set their self-paced learning goals, and then step back.
You will never answer a question. Instead, you will answer questions with further questions, guiding our young learners to the correct answer. One of our core principles is to equip our learners to find answers independently.
You will work with us to develop and plan projects that our learners will undertake.
Ultimately, you will be a game-maker, challenging our young learners and encouraging them at the right moments without direct tutoring.
