JOB PROFILE : Our Child Care Centre services approximately 45 children within the North York area and takes part in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program.

This position, for Child Care Supervisor & Centre Transition Lead, will assume responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Child Care Centre and will report directly to ownership. This role will act as the point of contact in all facets of operating the Child Care Centre, including working with the Ministry of Education, Toronto Public Health, the City of Toronto, and working effectively with staff, families and the children of our Centre. Your leadership will be key in connecting with the community, mentoring staff/students, ensuring enrolment rates stay consistently high and all administrative and supervisory responsibilities related to the day-to-day operation.

Our organization is entering an exciting period of growth and transformation.
