Substitute Teacher

Villa Montessori Preschool (VMP) is currently accepting applications for Substitute Teachers at our campus in Leesburg, VA.

Educating children through 6 years of age, VMP offers an authentic Montessori Curriculum with a Reggio Inspired Art & Science experience designed to inspire a child's creativity. The Montessori Method sparks imagination, assists children in making positive choices and helps the students build self-esteem while they discover new things each day.

Opportunities exist for all hours, including opening and closing schedules, on an as needed basis.

Montessori credentials or background are NOT required; however, daycare, child care, preschool teacher, or other teacher experience is.
