Build Your Career with Us!
Are you ready to make a difference in the lives of children, and join a winning team? We have the best early childhood program in the area and we only hire the best. We are always looking to add talented, energetic, positive, honest, and fun people to our team.
If the following statements resonate with you, come see us immediately.
You must love to give hugs, hold a crying toddler, get a dental inspection by a two-year old, have pretend conversation “on the phone” into a block, and most of all eat pretend food like a champ!
You must be able to sing “Let it Go”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, and any other songs requested by the children. Your tune is not important, your performance is everything!
You must be able to see and count a sea of moving heads instantaneously and locate anyone playing hide and seek by themselves (or with an imaginary friend).
You must be able to read a story while one child crawls in your lap, another tries to grab the book, and another one is telling you a completely different story.
The ability to read in different accents and dialects is a major bonus as it will keep them engaged long enough for your co-teacher to get diaper changes done!
You must be able to identify and remember the names of 20+ kids, parents, grandparents, blankies, coats, socks, hair bows, and any other item that has ever walked in your classroom instantly and know the location. Don’t worry we know this is not something you will be able to do on day one, day two however is another story.
You must be comfortable navigating on the floor, sitting on a chair that is a foot off the ground, crawling through a tunnel to save a scared child, and of course using tot sized toys!
You must be prepared to laugh, love, and learn more about children than you ever have. This is by far one of the most joyous places to work, but you must be prepared to accept the challenges and benefits this job has to offer. Yes, you will have many days where you go home utterly exhausted, but you can’t wait to go the next day and try that amazing Pinterest project you found.
If you are ready to join a winning team where we laugh, have fun, and kick drama out the door, come see us! We can’t wait to meet you!
Ideally, we are seeking candidates with course work or degrees in Early Childhood Education or a related field. Childcare experience is also a valuable asset. However, we will consider people without formal Childcare Education. While experience is not required either, preference is given to persons with experience in a licensed early childhood centre. Preference is also given to applicants having Early Childhood Education.
