About Cityplace Daycare:

Cityplace Daycare is a brand-new daycare on Toronto’s waterfront at 350 Queens Quay West. We’re looking for a Child Care Supervisor and Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) who wants the opportunity to help shape the daycare from the beginning. Our programs will include two 15-child toddler rooms, two 24-child preschool rooms, and before- and after-care programming.

Who you are:

You’re curious about child development and early learning, and you like staying current on new research, ideas and approaches. You think about what works, ask good questions and are comfortable trying recent things when they make sense. At the same time, you know that a great daycare needs strong systems behind it. You’re organized, dependable and attentive to the details that keep the centre secure, compliant and running smoothly.

Your leadership style is calm, approachable and low-ego. You can set clear expectations, deal with problems directly and hold people accountable without creating an unnecessarily rigid or hierarchical workplace.
