Montessori Matchmaker

Connecting Montessori Schools with the Right People — for the Right Reasons.

Montessori schools thrive when the adults in them do.
At Montessori Makers Group, we believe hiring isn’t just about filling a position — it’s about protecting your mission. Montessori Matchmaking connects schools with educators, guides, and leaders who bring clarity, purpose, and peace to their work.

We combine Montessori insight with modern recruitment strategy to help you find professionals who don’t just fit — they belong.

What It Is

A values-based recruitment and placement service designed for Montessori schools that want to build sustainable teams, not temporary fixes.

We curate, vet, and connect Montessori-trained educators and leaders who align with your school’s philosophy, community, and long-term goals. Every search is handled with discretion, equity, and deep respect for the children and adults at the heart of the work.

 

Choose This When

  • You’re hiring Montessori-trained guides, assistants, or specialists across any level.

  • You need help managing a search process that’s time-intensive or mission-critical.

  • You want a hiring approach that prioritizes equity, alignment, and authentic Montessori practice.

  • You’re ready to attract candidates who see teaching as service — not a steppingstone.

 

You’ll Get

A clear, strategic, and human-centered process that takes the stress out of hiring.

  • Curated Outreach: We share your role across Montessori networks, job boards, and professional channels — reaching both active and passive candidates.

  • Collaborative Alignment: We work with you to define what success looks like — your school’s mission, culture, and community priorities.

  • Thoughtful Appraisal: Every candidate is screened for Montessori training, experience, and values-fit through interviews, reference checks, and materials review.

  • Curated Recommendations: You receive a concise shortlist — typically 2–3 candidates — with detailed insights to help guide final selection.

  • Ongoing Partnership: We remain available throughout the hiring process to support communication, interviews, and decision-making.

We don’t just connect schools and candidates — we build relationships that strengthen the Montessori movement.
