Job Description

We are searching for highly motivated, passionate educators to join our team.

Grand River Early Learning Academy is located in Caledonia. We offer care from infancy through 6 years. We strive to create a nurturing environment that meets every child's current stage of development and challenges them to meet new milestones. We take a multi-curricular approach and tailor our environment to foster growth and learning in all children. We believe that all children benefit from the opportunity to take risks, explore, be independent, and learn from each other, their environment, and adults. We have taken this belief and designed a program that fosters a sense of collaboration between children and the adults they interact with everyday. We use observations and the environment as a 3rd teacher to offer provocations for exploration and development.

As one of the educators at Grand River ELA you will have the opportunity to build on our philosophy and create an enriched environment with programming based on your observations. It is our belief that the quality of the program depends on staff being knowledgeable of current best practices in the early childhood profession.
