Richmond, Canada Terra Early Learning Full time

Terra Early Learning is a community-minded early years centre with a progressive educational approach. Our mission is to co-create an environment where students experience what it means to conserve Earth’s natural resources, so we can leave our planet sustainable for all living things now, and in the future.

Terra Early Learning weaves in the foundational aspects of the Montessori program to achieve our mission of sustainable education. The goal of Montessori Education is to encourage children to become lifelong learners who respect themselves, others, and the environment. Through a Montessori approach, children and educators work together to build a sense of classroom community, and the students' sense of social responsibility is nurtured as they engage in daily tasks that encourage community-mindedness, like watering plants, folding laundry, or cleaning up after themselves.

Montessori's educational approach is beautifully incorporated into Terra Early Learning's curriculum, as it emphasizes sustainability, care for the natural environment, social responsibility, and citizenship. Our program is integrated to tailor to students’ individual needs with an intentional focus on children’s social-emotional development, health, and well-being.

**The Opportunity**

Terra is seeking loving, passionate, and progressive Montessori Educators who are committed to life-long learning to join our Early Learning Department. As a Montessori Educator, you will be responsible for providing exceptional education in a nurturing environment. You will create a classroom environment that promotes independence, allowing children to make choices with activities, work at their own pace, and work independently or in a group. Activities in the classroom and daily experiences promote social-emotional development, physical coordination, control of movement, and cognitive skills, as they develop their focus and concentration through developmentally appropriate activities.

The esteemed members of our school community bring with them diverse experiences, unique perspectives, and varied educational backgrounds. Every individual on our team is valued, heard, and respected. We work collectively to achieve our mission, while embodying our values in everything that we do.

**The Role**

As a Montessori Educator, you will:

- Provide learning experiences and opportunities to our young children, with a commitment to uphold our mission and vision towards sustainable living.
- Develop a strong understanding of Terra’s school culture, and what sets us apart from other early learning centres.
- Plan, implement, and organize a program in-line with Terra Early Learning’s integrated curriculum. Embrace the core principles and methods of the Montessori approach including the prepared environment, mixed-age classrooms, individualized learning, and the use of Montessori materials.
- Observe and assess each child's progress, strengths, and interests. Provide individualized lessons and activities based on the child's developmental needs, abilities, and learning style. Encourage self-paced learning and self-correction using Montessori materials.
- Establish loving, positive, safe and secure relationships with the children.
- Nurture the children’s individual physical, social-emotional, and mental wellness needs.
- Connect and engage in collaborative partnerships with fellow educators, colleagues, leaders, families, and the greater community.
- Prepare the classroom to ensure a clean and safe environment, including the organization of classroom materials. Ensure that materials are accessible and appropriately arranged to support student learning and exploration.
- Provide age-appropriate activities to support the development of children’s social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical growth.
- Document children’s learning progress and communicate with families/caregivers and colleagues regarding children’s development and progress.
- Attend staff meetings and professional development opportunities.

**The Qualifications**

As a Montessori Educator, you have:

- A Montessori Primary and/or Infant Toddler Diploma or Certification
- A valid Early Childhood Educator Certification
- A valid Emergency Child Care First Aid & CPR/AED Level B Certification
- A clear Criminal Record Check
- Canadian citizenship and/or are legally permitted to work in Canada
