Outdoor Educator in a Forest and Nature School

2 weeks ago

Nepean, Canada Out to Play Full time

Out to Play offers an Independent School, a summer daycamp program, 1:1 Forest and Nature School experiences, Family programs and Open Pay-What-You-Can Drop-In programs onsite at the Out to Play Environmental Education Centre and at urban wild spaces across the city.

Out to Play’s Forest and Nature School pedagogy is defined as child-centred, inquiry-driven, interest-led, educator-supported learning and connecting through play on the land. At Out to Play children spend most of every day outside and on the land, through all the seasons and through all the weather. This wholly outdoors, child-centred and play-based approach is unique and as such, Out to Play is also a demonstration site for childcare centres, colleges and universities.

This role is a Part-time Educator role, working with an experienced lead educator. The two educators support children through the rhythm of the day from opening circle and through the hike to holding space for child-centred learning through play on the land.

The days run 8:15-3:30 and include communication with daily risk-benefit assessments, communication with parents, morning check-in meetings, and end of day tidy up and maintenance.

You'll be working with a team of incredible educators who care very much about the children and our community of families. We value integrity, hard-work, a committment to reflection and learning, and having a laugh at the end of the day.

Requirements include:
A First Aid certification

Active Ontario College of Teachers or Early Childhood Education qualifications and/or

A Forest and Nature School Practitioners Course

A Vulnerable Sector Police Check

An interest working outdoors in all kinds of weather

This educator will have the opportunity to work 2-3 days/week in the Winter and 4-5 days/week in the Spring, 5 days/week in the summer. There is also the opportunity to take the Forest and Nature School Practitioners Course in the spring.
