We are looking for a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE), equivalent, or Early Childhood Educator Assistant to join our team and become a partner with our young investigators.

Our Philosophy
We believe that each child is competent, capable, curious, and rich in potential. Every child deserves to feel a sense of belonging, well-being, and respect in our program.
Children learn best through play, relationships, and hands-on experiences. Our educators are partners in learning who explore alongside children, ask meaningful questions, and create environments that inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection.
We value:
- Respect for each child’s individuality
- Strong relationships with families
- Play-based, emergent learning
- Documentation and reflective practice
- Joy, laughter, and lifelong learning
