Primary Educator (Level 3) – Hillhurst Campus
Because some classrooms run on goldfish crackers and chaos. Ours run on purpose.
Blüm Childcare Academy is a private early learning institution rooted in Montessori and Reggio Emilia, serving students (not just children) aged 12 months to 6 years. Our Hillhurst campus is growing, and we’re seeking a Level 3 Early Childhood Educator who sees this work not as a job, but as a calling.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Lead a classroom grounded in beauty, regulation, and predictability (not laminated sticker charts)
- Guide students through purposeful routines that prioritize independence, kindness, and rich learning
- Collaborate with fellow educators who dress like professionals and speak with intention
- Partner with leadership that deeply values your voice — not just your ratios
Requirements
- Alberta Level 3 Certification (non-negotiable)
- A heart for early learning, a voice that models calm, and a posture of respect
- Familiarity with Montessori, Reggio, or inquiry-based pedagogy preferred (or willingness to learn)
What Blüm Offers (a lot, actually)
- Professional coaching & certification pathways (including Blüm Certified Educator status)
- Beautiful classrooms and curated materials — not a bin of broken toys
- Fulfilled Team perks:
- Quarterly educator celebrations
- Robust PD days, always paid and designed with intention
- Emotional regulation training, co-reflection, and leadership transparency
- No phones in pockets. No baby talk. No chaos. Just rhythm, presence, and purpose.
