They will also ensure that they are integrating Good Beginnings’ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging values into their environment. Positions are available at all of our 13 School Age Programs, as well as at our 4 Child Care Centres.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTIONS
The role of the successful candidates will be to fill in for employee absences, whether those absences are due to illness, vacation, or other breaks. Often times there is no established pattern to work hours, and since our staffing is dependent upon enrolment, no regular hours are guaranteed. The majority of our programs operate from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm so shifts may fall anywhere within those hours.
The successful candidate will be required to adhere to all licensing requirements as set out by the Child Care and Early Years Act. Excellent communication skills: written, oral, listening, and non-verbal are essential.
Familiarity with the following curriculum/resources would also be an asset, as Good Beginnings follows both;
• How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years
• Child Care and Early Years Act
