Passionate Early Childhood Educator Level 2

**We're Hiring: Inspired Early Learning Educators**:

- Join the Blüm Team — where wonder, design, and meaningful work come together._

At **Blüm**, we believe that early childhood is not just a phase — it's the beginning of everything. Rooted in Montessori and Reggio-inspired practice, we’re redefining what early learning looks like in Calgary’s most vibrant inner-city communities. Our spaces are intentionally designed: calm, natural, beautiful. Our approach is relationship-driven, purposeful, and modern.

We’re searching for **extraordinary educators** to join our team — educators who believe in the power of play, connection, and lifelong learning.

**What lights you up**:

- You thrive in calm, clutter-free environments where design meets purpose.
- You view each student as capable, curious, and deeply worthy of respect.
- You understand that strong routines and beautiful provocations go hand in hand.
- You’re reflective, collaborative, and always growing in your practice.
- You value warm communication — with students, families, and your team.

**What you’ll do**:

- Create and facilitate rich, engaging experiences that respond to student interests and development
- Maintain calm, beautiful spaces rooted in natural materials and intentional design
- Collaborate with families in meaningful, respectful ways
- Contribute to team culture — with thoughtfulness, humour, and heart

**What we’re looking for**:

- Alberta ECE Level 2 (minimum), Level 3 is best
- Current First Aid and CPR certification
- Alberta Police Clearance with Vulnerable Sector Search
- AHS Food & Safety Basics (can be completed after hire)
- Familiarity with Montessori and / or Reggio is an asset — but not required
- Most of all: a deep love for early childhood and a commitment to making your work matter

**Why Blüm?**

At Blüm, we believe that when educators are supported, inspired, and deeply valued — they thrive. Here’s what you can expect when you join our team:

- **Thoughtfully designed spaces** - calm, natural, beautiful classrooms that support focus and joy
- **Mentorship & professional growth** - ongoing coaching, collaboration, and opportunities to learn
- **Comprehensive benefits** - fully paid extended health, dental, and vision coverage
- **Employee Assistance Program** - confidential, 24/7 wellness and mental health support
- **Annual sneaker allowance** - because comfort matters when you’re on your feet changing lives
- **Team engagement & celebration events** - we don’t just work together, we grow together
- **Recognition & rewards** - your contributions won’t go unnoticed
- **A high-trust culture** - where your voice matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your well-being comes first

**This isn’t just daycare. It’s something more.**

At Blüm, we’re not simply supervising — we’re co-creating meaningful childhoods. We’re looking for teammates who see themselves as guides, researchers, and collaborators in a child’s journey. If you're passionate about early learning, curious about Montessori and Reggio-inspired practice, and excited to build something truly special, you’ll feel at home here.

If you're just looking for a job, we totally respect that — but this might not be the right fit. Blüm is a place for those who want a _calling_.
