Job Description

We're Not Hiring Assistants Right Now...

...but we are looking for 1-2

amazing humans

to join the Children of the Island (COTI) family as full-fledged ECEs or Infant Toddler Educators.

Are you passionate about early childhood education, fluent in fun and toddler logic, and also know your way around licensing regulations without losing your sense of humour?

Cool. Keep reading.

We're on the lookout for experienced, kind, and collaborative educators who can balance developmental theory with a chaotic circle time - and still leave work smiling (most days). You'll be joining a crew of dedicated, hilarious, and highly skilled professionals in a

state-of-the-art 20,000 sq ft facility

where your biggest job is to show up, support your team, and do what you do best:

help little humans grow

.

Seriously. We handle all the supplies. You bring your skills, your weirdly amazing ability to calm a room full of three-year-olds, and your favourite cozy cardigan.

What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. Your Superpowers):

Designing and delivering lesson plans that are fun, developmentally appropriate, and make kids (and you) light up. Creating a warm, respectful environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Building relationships with families and keeping them in the loop (we use an app to keep this simple). Observing and tracking developmental milestones like a child-whispering data wizard. Collaborating with a team of smart, creative, and supportive educators - think "dream team," but with more glitter. Supporting all learners, including those with additional needs, with empathy and skill. Staying curious and committed to growth through ongoing professional development.

You'll Fit Right In If You...

Are ECE or Infant Toddler certified (obviously). Have a solid handle on the BC childcare licensing regs (or at least know where to look when you need to). Have experience in early childhood settings - the kind where things get messy, loud, and unforgettable. Can laugh through chaos, communicate clearly, and work as part of a tight-knit, all-star team. Love learning, leading, and being part of a values-based community. Can rock a theme day, sing off-key with confidence, and high-five parents in the parking lot. Are cool with documentation and know your way around basic tech. Bonus points if you speak French or another language - even toddler-speak counts.

What We're Offering:

A supportive, inclusive workplace where people actually like each other. Great team-building events (think real fun, not forced fun). All supplies and materials provided (you will never be the one buying glue sticks at 9PM). A beautiful, purpose-built facility that makes your job easier - not harder.

Let's Do This

If this sounds like your kind of vibe and you're ready to join a team that values people as much as pedagogy, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and let's talk about how you can bring your magic to the Children of the Island family.
