Blüm Academy | Calgary, AB
Immediate Hire

A rare opportunity to build something from the beginning.

Blüm Academy is preparing to open its newest campus in the beautiful inner-city community of Parkdale, and we are assembling a founding team of Primary Educators who will set the tone, rhythm, and standard for this space from day one.

This is not a backfill role.
This is not stepping into an existing classroom.

This is an opportunity to shape a school environment from the ground up—alongside a leadership team deeply committed to intentional practice, professional excellence, and a modern, research-informed approach to early education.

About Blüm

Blüm Academy is an award-winning early learning institution rooted in the Montessori Method and framed by the Reggio Emilia approach.

We operate with a clear belief:

- Students are capable.
- The environment matters.
- The educator is everything.

Our classrooms are calm, beautiful, and highly intentional. Our educators are articulate, composed, and deeply respected as professionals. Our program prioritizes real-world learning, emotional regulation, and dignity in every interaction.

The Role: Primary Educator

As a Primary Educator, you are responsible for the full rhythm and experience of the classroom.

You are not simply supporting a program—you are leading it.

You will:

- Design and guide a structured, developmentally aligned daily rhythm
- Lead transitions, meals, rest periods, and learning blocks with clarity and calm authority
- Deliver programming grounded in Montessori and Reggio principles
- Maintain a composed, language-rich classroom environment




- Observe, document, and respond to student development in real time
- Build strong, professional relationships with families through written communication
- Uphold Blüm’s standards of tone, presence, and classroom design

This Role Is For You If…

- You naturally bring structure, calm, and presence into a room
- You believe children deserve dignity, not control
- You are detail-oriented and take pride in how things look and feel
- You are confident leading a group and making decisions independently
- You are open to feedback and committed to continuous refinement
- You want to be part of something intentional, not transactional

This Role Is Not For You If…

- You prefer unstructured or purely play-based environments
- You rely on screens, entertainment, or distraction-based engagement
- You are uncomfortable with accountability, standards, or observation
- You are looking for a low-responsibility or passive role

Qualifications

- Level 2 or Level 3 Early Childhood Educator Certification (Alberta)
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Previous classroom leadership experience preferred
- Alignment with Montessori and/or Reggio philosophy is a strong asset
