We’re really good at noticing when our children lose control.
It’s a little harder to notice when we do it.
And that’s where this conversation gets interesting. 👆
Because teaching respect isn’t just about what we expect from our children.
It starts at home. 💚

🌿 We're Growing! Join Our Team at Thriving Minds Montessori
As our school continues to grow, we're excited to welcome a new School Operations Assistant to our team.
We're looking for someone who loves creating order, enjoys meaningful work, and wants to play an important role in helping our Montessori community thrive.
This is not primarily a classroom position. Instead, you'll help support the daily operations of our school so our classrooms, teachers, and children have everything they need to be successful.
No two days are exactly the same. Depending on the needs of the school, you may be:
• Preparing classroom materials
• Organizing learning spaces and supplies
• Maintaining a beautiful Montessori environment
• Running occasional school-related errands
• Assisting with special events and seasonal projects
• Supporting teachers and children in the classroom when additional help is needed
If you enjoy variety, take initiative, and take pride in helping things run smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.
Location
📍 Puyallup, Washington
Schedule
📅 Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
🕗 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Approximately 12 hours per week.

We're looking for someone who:
✓ Is dependable and punctual
✓ Loves organizing and creating order
✓ Takes initiative without waiting to be asked
✓ Enjoys working around children
✓ Is flexible and willing to help wherever support is needed
✓ Has a positive attitude and enjoys learning new things
✓ Is at least 18 years old
✓ Has a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
✓ Can reliably commute to Puyallup
✓ Can pass a Washington State background check
Montessori experience is not required. We are happy to train the right person.
We're looking for someone with character, reliability, and a genuine desire to become an important part of our school community.
Current Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification and a Washington State Food Worker Card are preferred. If you don't already have them, you'll simply need to obtain them after hire.
