Preschool Teacher

Join the First Authentic Montessori Preschool in North Sulawesi

Kinderglory Montessori School is growing, and we are looking for a passionate Preschool Teacher (1.5–6 years) who is committed to child-centered education and eager to grow in the Montessori method.

This is a meaningful opportunity to be part of an authentic Montessori preschool environment aligned with AMI principles. As a faith-inspired school, we integrate Biblical values with Montessori education, nurturing children not only in independence and early learning, but also in character, love, and respect.

Join us in creating a joyful and purposeful environment where each child is guided to develop their full potential: academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

As a Preschool Teacher at Kinderglory Montessori School, you will play a vital role in guiding children aged 1.5 - 2.5 years (Toddy Class) and 2.5–6 years (Kindy Class) through a thoughtfully prepared environment that supports independence, curiosity, and joyful learning.

You will work closely with children, parents, and colleagues to create a safe, respectful, and engaging classroom where each child is seen, valued, and supported.

This Role Is Ideal for You If You:

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain a calm, engaging, and well-prepared learning environment

• Observe, guide, and support children’s development according to their individual needs and readiness

• Plan and implement age-appropriate learning experiences aligned with child development principles

• Foster independence, positive discipline, and social-emotional growth

• Build strong, respectful relationships with children and families

• Document children’s progress and communicate clearly with parents

• Collaborate with colleagues and participate in team meetings and school events

• Uphold the values, ethos, and professional standards of Kinderglory Montessori School

What We’re Looking For:

Essential:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, Psychology, or a related field

• Minimum 3 years’ experience teaching toddlers or preschool-aged children

• Strong understanding of child development

• Good classroom management and communication skills

• Fluent English (spoken and written)

Highly Desirable:

• Montessori training or certification (or strong interest in Montessori education)

• Experience working with parents and conducting parent-teacher communication

What You Can Expect From Us:

• A supportive, respectful, and collaborative school culture

• Opportunities for Montessori training and professional development

• Ongoing guidance and mentorship from school leadership

• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience)

• Daily lunch catering

• BPJS Health Insurance

• Career growth opportunities as the school expands
