Montessori Early Childhood Educator (ECE) – Part-Time (25–30 hours/week)
Location: Vancouver, BC
Start Date: As soon as possible
Hours: 25–30 hours per week, shift-based schedule (Centre operates 49 weeks per year)Westside Montessori Academy is growing! Our new Early Learning Centre is seeking a flexible, talented, and Montessori-trained Early Childhood Educator to help shape our new environment for young learners.
We’re looking for someone who embodies adaptability and kindness — an educator who can think on their feet, bring calm and creativity to the classroom, and genuinely loves being with children.
If you are a Montessori teacher who follows a very traditional or rigid approach, our centre may not be the right fit. We value a responsive, joyful, and evolving interpretation of Montessori philosophy — one that integrates the BC Early Learning Framework, embraces play, art, music, and storytelling, and follows the child with curiosity and heart.
