Overview Fueling Brains Education Services is an Alberta Education-funded Early Childhood Services (ECS) provider supporting children accessing Program Unit Funding (PUF) and Mild/Moderate (MM) funding across multiple Academy locations in Calgary and Strathmore.

This is not a traditional educational assistant role.

Our model blends early intervention, brain-based learning, and multidisciplinary collaboration to create meaningful opportunities for children to develop communication, self-regulation, social-emotional skills, independence, and school readiness.

If you are passionate about supporting children with diverse learning and developmental needs while working alongside educators and therapists in a collaborative environment, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting impact during the most critical years of child development.

As a Brain Development Technician, you will work directly with children, educators, therapists, and families to implement individualized intervention strategies within inclusive early learning environments.

We are seeking energetic, compassionate, and team-oriented professionals who are committed to helping children reach their full potential.
