The Opportunity

The ECE plays a vital role in nurturing children’s creativity, curiosity, and independence while ensuring a safe and inclusive environment. As an educator, the ECE will document each child's progress, support diverse learning needs, and work closely with families to build strong, positive relationships—mainly through face-to-face communication and our Class Dojo app, while ensuring a clean, safe, and welcoming space for children.
