Where can I find a certified Montessori Teacher seeking a position in the South Suburbs of Chicago?

Question

I know of a position open with Ivy League Montessori in Moken, IL and they are in need of a Teacher before this year begins, which is in a couple weeks. The last Teacher just quit. Is there anyone out there looking or know of a good free site to use, let me know.

Answer 1

there's one in flossmoor or homewood on i think chicago road along the ic train tracks.  

Answer 2

Is that the one in Molcina or New Lenox?  There's an Ivy Leage Montessori school listed on the AMS web site from Molcina and one from New Lenox.  The reason I ask is because the type of Montessori school it is may limit your choices of where you can get teachers.

If it is that AMS school, I would start with AMS.

There's a free service to post job openings online.  You can also try NAMTA:

That takes a little time, though.  It seems like you need something quickly.

There are 3 AMS Training courses in Illinois.  I'm not sure which ones are near Chicago, but contacting them would be a good idea:

They might have a teacher or two that is looking for a job.

Try teachers.net:

There's a Montessori board on there.  It's not heavily populated, so you might not have any luck, but it's worth a try.

I hope that helps!  Good luck.
