About Little Haven Daycare

Little Haven Daycare is a new childcare centre committed to providing safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching care where children feel supported, families feel welcomed, and learning happens through meaningful experiences and care.

Located within a church facility, Little Haven offers a warm, family-oriented environment focused on helping children grow, learn, and thrive through high-quality care, strong relationships, and engaging programming.

As we prepare to launch and grow, we are seeking an experienced and hands-on Daycare Operations Manager (ECE Required) to help lead the day-to-day operations of the centre.

This role is ideal for a strong childcare leader who enjoys taking ownership, leading teams, building relationships with families, and ensuring children receive exceptional care in a safe and supportive environment.

Our Ideal Candidate

You are an experienced childcare professional and natural leader who understands how to balance operations, people leadership, and hands-on support.

You thrive in fast-paced environments, lead with professionalism and compassion, and are comfortable stepping in wherever needed to support staff, children, and families.

You are organized, solutions-oriented, and understand what it takes to run a high-quality childcare centre while creating a positive and welcoming experience for both children and parents.

Supporting enrollment growth and helping create an exceptional family experience
Maintaining licensing requirements, health and safety standards, and operational compliance
Helping foster a positive, accountable, and collaborative team culture
Working closely with ownership to support the continued success and growth of the centre

Experience supporting staff leadership, coaching, recruitment, and team development
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with children, families, and staff
Comfortable balancing operational leadership with hands-on classroom support when required
Strong organizational skills with the ability to problem solve and adapt in a dynamic environment

What’s in it for You

Monday to Friday schedule
Opportunity to lead and operate a growing childcare centre
Supportive, family-oriented environment
Meaningful work that positively impacts children and families in the community
Opportunity to shape culture, lead teams, and make a lasting impact

If you are passionate about childcare leadership and excited by the opportunity to help lead and shape a new childcare centre, we would love to hear from you.
