Educator Job Description
As an educator at ProducKIDvity, you hold a vital role in shaping the growth, development, and well-being of every child in your care. Here, you are more than an educator, you are a guide, a nurturer, and a partner in child development.
We believe every child is curious, capable, and unique. Our play-based, emergent curriculum follows children’s interests, encouraging hands-on discovery and sparking a lifelong love of learning. By creating welcoming, inclusive spaces, you’ll help children build confidence, creativity, resilience, and compassion, all while fostering a strong sense of belonging.
At ProducKIDvity, you will:
- Nurture and guide children 0–5 with warmth, care, and respect.
- Foster belonging, inclusion, and collaboration among children, families, and colleagues.
- Through the lens of Reggio Emilia you will create engaging, flexible learning environments rooted in curiosity and play.
- Plan, document, and evaluate emergent curriculum that reflects the interests of children and families, with a focus on the living inquiries of the BC Early Learning Framework.
- Prioritize the health, safety, and emotional well-being of every child.
- Build strong, collaborative partnerships with families and maintain open communication.
- Uphold licensing standards, agency policies, and our shared values.
Our educators are the heart of our mission to integrate family and work life through high-quality childcare in a supportive, community-driven environment. We live by our values of authenticity, accountability, kindness, innovation, and community involvement. When you feel supported and valued, children flourish and so do families and colleagues.
