Job Description

Love the outdoors? So do we.

We're looking for an ECE who feels at home in nature and sees the outdoors as the ultimate learning environment. In our child-led, nature-based program, educators support children to take big leaps--physically, socially, and imaginatively--while grounded in a deep culture of respect and safety.

About the Role

This is a full-time, in-ratio position supporting a group of up 16 children aged 3-6 together with an experienced ECE partner. You will spend a large portion of your day in Banfield Park, a public park located on along the Gorge Waterway, and in the surrounding community, engaging with the natural world through a lens of curiosity, care, and respect. Rain or shine, we spend time outdoors every day. We believe that all weather is good weather when you're dressed for it.

What We Offer

$29.10/hour (including ECE Wage Enhancement) plus 4% in lieu of vacation Extended health benefits including vision and dental RRSP matching Paid staff meetings
