Qualifications and Requirements

To be considered for this position, applicants must meet specific educational and experiential requirements. Our ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for working with young children and a commitment to providing high-quality care in accordance with Montessori principles and Canadian childcare regulations.

Educational Requirements

Candidates must possess an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Certificate from a recognized institution. This certification demonstrates your foundational knowledge of child development, age-appropriate activities, and best practices in early childhood education. Additionally, a valid First Aid Certificate is required, ensuring you can respond appropriately to medical emergencies that may arise in a childcare setting.

Experience Requirements

We are seeking candidates with 1-3 years of direct experience working with children in the toddler to pre-school age range (typically 0-5 years). This experience should include hands-on care activities such as feeding, diapering, bathing, and engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities. Experience in a Montessori setting is considered an asset but not required.

Key Responsibilities

The Infants’ Daycare Worker will be responsible for providing comprehensive care and developmental support to infants and toddlers in our Montessori environment. Your role will encompass both physical care and educational activities designed to support holistic development.

Daily Care Activities

Primary responsibilities include the daily care needs of infants and toddlers, such as bathing, diapering, and feeding. You will ensure that each child’s physical needs are met while maintaining a clean, safe, and hygienic environment. This includes proper food preparation, adherence to dietary restrictions, and following established routines for sleep and play.

Developmental Programming

You will develop and implement child-care programs that support the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of children. These programs will include age-appropriate activities such as storytelling, singing, simple crafts, and sensory experiences. You will incorporate Montessori principles into daily activities, fostering independence, concentration, and a love of learning.

Parent Communication

Effective communication with parents is a crucial aspect of this role. You will synthesize information about each child’s daily experiences, developmental progress, and overall well-being, sharing this with parents through verbal updates, written reports, and parent-teacher conferences. This helps create a partnership between the childcare center and families to support each child’s development.

Observation and Documentation

You will observe children for signs of potential learning or behavioral differences and prepare detailed reports for parents, guardians, or supervisors. These observations help track developmental milestones and identify early intervention needs. Documentation will also include daily activity logs, incident reports, and progress assessments.

Environmental Management

Maintaining a safe, clean, and stimulating environment is essential. You will plan and maintain the physical space to protect the health, security, and well-being of children. This includes arranging materials at appropriate heights, ensuring equipment is safe and functional, and creating an atmosphere that encourages exploration and learning.

Regulatory Compliance

A thorough understanding of childcare licensing regulations is required. You will ensure that all activities and care practices comply with British Columbia’s childcare licensing standards. This includes maintaining proper staff-to-child ratios, following health and safety protocols, and adhering to policies for emergency preparedness.

Professional Development

Le Soleil Montessori Infant Community LTD. supports the ongoing professional development of our staff. We encourage participation in workshops, conferences, and additional training opportunities related to early childhood education, Montessori methodology, and special needs care. This commitment to learning ensures that our staff remains current with best practices in the field.

Team Collaboration

As part of our team, you will participate in regular staff meetings to discuss children’s progress, share observations, and collaborate on program development. These meetings provide opportunities for professional dialogue, problem-solving, and continuous improvement of our childcare services. You will also work collaboratively with other staff members to maintain consistency in care and educational approaches.
