We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (Apply today...). Also remove duplicated lines. Need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "Shape a child’s very first learning experiences. At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Infant Guides create calm, nurturing environments where infants are respected as capable individuals from the very beginning. If you’re passionate about early development and want to lead a thoughtfully designed classroom that supports independence, movement, and discovery, we’d love to meet you." - Then: "As a Lead Infant Guide, you’ll lead a mixed-age infant classroom (ages 0–3) in a Montessori environment intentionally designed to support each child’s natural development. In Montessori, the environment and the guide work together to nurture independence, curiosity, and confidence. You’ll thoughtfully prepare the classroom, observe each child closely, and provide individualized care that honors their unique rhythms and needs. Most importantly, you’ll help infants develop trust in themselves and the world around them laying the foundation for lifelong learning." - Then "What You’ll Do" bullet list (actually lines). Let's extract bullet points: Observe each child to understand and support their physical, emotional, and cognitive development Respect and follow each child’s natural rhythms for sleeping, eating, and toileting Prepare and maintain a beautiful, orderly environment that fosters trust, movement, and exploration Support independence by encouraging children to participate in care activities Build warm, meaningful relationships with children and families Partner closely with parents to support each child’s growth and development Lead and collaborate with classroom team members to create a strong, respectful community - Then "The Montessori Prepared Environment" paragraph describing environment. - Then bullet list of environment features: Open floor space for movement and exploration Child-sized furniture and materials Curriculum that supports independence in feeding, dressing, and toileting Scientifically designed materials for fine and gross motor development Natural elements like real plants, cozy rugs, and abundant natural light Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood and metal rather than plastic Opportunities for climbing, crawling, and discovery without restrictive devices - Then "What We’re Looking For" bullet list: Interest in pursuing fully sponsored Montessori certification through our Prepared Montessorian Institute, or prior Montessori diploma Experience working with children ages 0–3 in a group care setting Alignment with child-led educational philosophies (Montessori, Reggio Emilia, or similar) Required ECE or Child Development credits Bachelor’s degree (any field) - Then "What We Offer" bullet list: Sponsored Montessori diploma training and ongoing professional development Competitive salary Health, dental, and vision insurance Paid time off and paid holidays 75% tuition discount for up to two children at any Guidepost school A collaborative community of peers and mentors Clear pathways for career growth and leadership advancement - Then "About Guidepost Montessori" paragraph. - Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove. - Also "Apply today and help shape the earliest years of learning." is application instruction, remove. - Also "Guidepost Global Education and Guidepost Montessori are committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)." remove. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be intro paragraphs describing role. Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" list. - Qualifications/Requirements: "What We’re Looking For" list (requirements). Could be Requirements heading. - Skills: maybe not separate; but we could combine with Requirements. - Benefits: "What We Offer" list. - Pay: we have "Competitive salary" inside Benefits; but we could make a Pay section if we have specific salary info. It's just "Competitive salary" which is vague but still a statement. The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive salary". So we could include Pay section with that line. However we also have Benefits section with other benefits. Could combine Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay into Benefits? But they said use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule separately. If we combine, we might lose specificity. However we could have Benefits section that includes competitive salary as part of list. That's okay. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state competitive salary, so we could create Pay section with that line. But then Benefits section would have other items. That's two sections. Might be okay. But we also have Schedule: no mention of schedule. So omit Schedule. We also have "About Guidepost Montessori" could be "About the company" but not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add About Guidepost Montessori as a heading; we could incorporate that info into About the role or maybe omit? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It didn't forbid adding other headings not in list? It says: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That implies we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't explicitly forbid other headings, but likely we should stick to those. So we can put About Guidepost Montessori info under About the role or maybe under a generic

without heading. Probably best to incorporate into About the role paragraph. Thus sections: - About the role: combine intro paragraphs and maybe the Montessori Prepared Environment description? Actually that is more about environment; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Environment" but not allowed. Could fold into About the role. - Responsibilities: the What You’ll Do list. - Requirements: the What We’re Looking For list. - Benefits: the What We Offer list (including competitive salary? maybe separate Pay). - Pay: Competitive salary line. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft. Structure:

About the role

Shape a child’s very first learning experiences. At Guidepost Montessori, our Lead Infant Guides create calm, nurturing environments where infants are respected as capable individuals from the very beginning. If you’re passionate about early development and want to lead a thoughtfully designed classroom that supports independence, movement, and discovery, we’d love to meet you. As a Lead Infant Guide, you’ll lead a mixed-age infant classroom (ages 0–3) in a Montessori environment intentionally designed to support each child’s natural development. In Montessori, the environment and the guide work together to nurture independence, curiosity, and confidence. You’ll thoughtfully prepare the classroom, observe each child closely, and provide individualized care that honors their unique rhythms and needs. Most importantly, you’ll help infants develop trust in themselves and the world around them laying the foundation for lifelong learning. The Montessori Prepared Environment Every Guidepost infant classroom is fully equipped with high-quality Montessori materials and thoughtfully designed to support movement, exploration, and independence. Our infant environments include: Open floor space for movement and exploration; Child-sized furniture and materials; Curriculum that supports independence in feeding, dressing, and toileting; Scientifically designed materials for fine and gross motor development; Natural elements like real plants, cozy rugs, and abundant natural light; Beautiful, breakable materials made from wood and metal rather than plastic; Opportunities for climbing, crawling, and discovery without restrictive devices.

But we need to keep list formatting for environment? Could be
  • . However the instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For environment description, it's a list but not duties/requirements/benefits. Could still use list but not required. Safer to keep as prose? But we have a list of environment features; we could make a
      • but not mandated. Might be okay. However we might want to keep as

        with semicolons. Might lose some detail but still preserve. Better to use

        • for clarity. The instruction didn't forbid using lists for other content; just said use for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It's okay to use for other lists. Thus we can have

          About the role

          with

          intro then

          • environment features. But we need to avoid duplicate headings. Let's structure:

            Environment

            not allowed. Could incorporate environment into About the role as a list after paragraph. Thus after the paragraph, we can add
