Mother Goose Co-operative Preschool

Hello! The link is live for the fundraiser

https://square.link/u/uuu9RMFo

Our warm and welcoming co-operative preschool in Hamilton is looking for a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) to join our team.
We are a small, community-based preschool offering half-day programming for children aged 2.5 to 4 years old. Our program is unique in that we work closely with families, who volunteer in the classroom each day and play an active role in our preschool community.
We are seeking an experienced second staff member who is:
Down-to-earth, kind, and approachable
Flexible and easy-going
Confident stepping in when needed, while also comfortable standing back and allowing play to unfold naturally
Experienced in early childhood settings
A thoughtful observer who reflects on children’s interests and development
Able to plan beautiful, natural provocations and invitations to play based on observations of the children and group dynamic
Interested in a shorter work day and enjoying summers off
This role would be ideal for an experienced educator seeking meaningful work in a supportive, relationship-based environment.
If you value play-based learning, strong family connections, and a (sometimes) calm, collaborative atmosphere, we would love to hear from you.

By age 9, many of the foundations of childhood development are already in place. So where do those foundations come from? Often, from the simplest experiences: mud between fingers, grass under bare feet, dirt on hands, full sensory play in the natural world. The earlier a child experience nature this way, the deeper it imprints — shaping how they explore, regulate, and connect for the rest of their lives. And sometimes the most important thing adults can do is simple: Step back. How are you creating space for children to experience nature through full sensory play? https://www.bienenstockplaygrounds.com/ #NaturePlay #ChildhoodDevelopment #OutdoorEducation #HandsOnLearning #EarlyChildhood
