About Brightway
Brightway Montessori Academy is a newly built space near Yonge & Eglinton and we’re building something different.
We’re creating a calm, nurturing, authentic Montessori environment where children feel safe, capable, and at home - in a space that is modern, natural, and zen. No cookie-cutter daycare vibe. No loud plastic chaos. More “exhale” and less “overstimulated.”
If you’ve ever walked into a childcare centre and thought, “this could be done so much better” - you’ll probably get what we’re building.
The Role
We’re looking for a Montessori Teacher who genuinely believes in the Montessori philosophy and wants to create a classroom where children develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning.
