The New Plymouth Montessori Association; consisting of a casa for 3-6 year olds and a primary unit for 6-12 year olds has two exciting job prospects to announce: a permanent position at the casa level and a maternity leave position in the primary unit.

• We are looking for a Montessori trained teacher to head one of our four fully equipped 3-6 classes.  The successful applicant would ideally have New Zealand teacher registration however this is not essential.  Our casa has been in operation for 30 years, moving 11 years ago to a purpose built facility on 1.2 hectares of land.  Each classroom has approximately 25 children and three teachers, with at least the head teacher having a Montessori qualification.  In addition, we have two outdoor teachers and a resource assistant.

The position is available from Term 4, 2008.

• Exciting opportunity available to work alongside an experienced and highly qualified Montessori teacher at a respected Montessori primary unit within a supportive state school.  The Montessori unit at Moturoa School, New Plymouth is looking for a teacher for the lower (6-9 year olds) primary Montessori class to cover a teacher on maternity leave.  The successful applicant ideally would need to be eligible for NZ teacher registration and hold a Montessori primary teaching qualification. The Montessori classes offer an inquiry based learning approach with small classes and a strong community spirit within the enviroschool culture of Moturoa School.  If you are looking to work in a country-school atmosphere in the city and the chance to experience a classroom with a different teaching and learning style, look no further.
