Under the guidance of a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE), you will actively support and foster the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of the children in our care. Imagine the joy of engaging young minds by sharing captivating stories, teaching delightful songs, and organizing visits to local points of interest.
