About Wildwood Child Care Centre

Wildwood Child Care Centre is a licensed childcare facility in North Vancouver, BC. We provide early childhood education and care for children from infancy through school age, with a strong emphasis on nature-based and play-based learning. Our practice is guided by the British Columbia Early Learning Framework (ELF), which views children as capable, curious and full of potential.

Position Overview

Wildwood is seeking an experienced Early Childhood Program Supervisor to lead pedagogy and program quality across our centre. The Program Supervisor plans and leads ELF-informed programming, supervises and mentors ECEs and ECE assistants, and acts as the person in charge when the Centre Director is absent.

This is a hands-on, child-facing leadership role. It combines daily direct work with children, pedagogical leadership of the educator team, and responsibility for documentation and licensing compliance.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Pedagogical Leadership and the BC Early Learning Framework

• Lead the planning and delivery of emergent, play-based and nature-based programs grounded in the BC Early Learning Framework (ELF)
• Plan experiences across the ELF areas of early learning: well-being and belonging; exploration and creativity; languages and literacies; and social responsibility and diversity
• Lead pedagogical narration: observe, document and interpret children's learning, and use it with colleagues and families to inform planning
• Facilitate regular critical reflection and planning meetings with the educator team
• Support educators to embed Indigenous perspectives, ways of knowing and reconciliation in daily practice, in partnership with local First Nations resources where appropriate
• Ensure programs meet the BC Child Care Licensing Regulation and the centre's curriculum philosophy

Child Supervision and Care

• Provide attentive, responsive care and supervision of children during all program hours
• Guide children in healthy routines, including eating, hygiene, rest and social behaviour
• Identify signs of developmental, behavioural or emotional concerns and communicate them to families and the Director
• Coordinate with families and community professionals, such as Supported Child Development consultants, to plan inclusive supports for children with additional needs
• Ensure the physical safety and emotional well-being of all children at all times

Staff Leadership and Mentorship

• Supervise, guide and mentor ECEs and ECE assistants in daily program delivery
• Act as person in charge of the centre in the Director's absence, including managing ratios, staff coverage and incident response
• Assist with staff scheduling to maintain licensing ratios and group sizes
• Orient new staff to centre routines, policies and ELF-based practice
• Supervise and evaluate ECE practicum students from post-secondary programs
• Provide input on staff performance, training needs and program quality to the Director

Family and Community Engagement

• Build respectful relationsh
