Early Childhood Education is the foundation of learning for our youngest citizens. We are a large group of child care centres in British Columbia that offer programs for children ages infant to 12 years old. We follow curriculum-based programs exposing children to age-appropriate developmental practice. We have opened new centres this summer and are looking for educators to join our team.

We are looking for ECEA, ECE, ECEIT, and RA’s to join our new programs. Our centres have beautiful outdoor spaces and nearby parks where the children are able to explore nature and learn through play. We offer great wages, paid educational upgrades, a great team to work with, medical and dental benefits, and having so many centres there are lots of opportunities to advance in the company.
