Infant and Toddler Senior Educator - Full-time-Temporary

WHO WE ARE

SFU Childcare Society is an internationally recognized childcare centre known for its quality early care and learning. For 50 years, we have been providing and promoting a play based, family focused early care and learning program for children ages 3 months to 12 years. Nestled on the campus of Simon Fraser University, our physical environments and the experiences shared with children reflect the beauty and nature of our mountain location. SFU Childcare Society values children as the heart of our respectful, collaborative and reflective community by providing them with a place to develop their potential through freedom to explore and engage the world around them.

We believe that it is important to create an environment where educators feel supported and that they are given the space to grow in their practice. Our educators connect with each other and their work through pedagogical dialogue, communities of practice, present at workshops and conferences, and have also published articles detailing their work with children and families. To support this work, our Society is committed to providing ongoing learning and leadership opportunities that connect with our mission, vison and core values.
