On Call Teacher | Braeside

Kids U is a growing Accredited Early Childhood Learning Institute in Calgary and Strathmore. For children aged zero to six, we offer best-in-class child care as well as preschool and kindergarten programs that build experiences and influence the development of executive functions. Guided by our Core Values of Knowledge, Innovate, Development, Service and Upliftment, our curriculum is backed by scientific research and this approach prioritizes how a child learns instead of what they learn.

We are currently looking for On-Call Teachers that have strong interpersonal skills and find joy in working with children and adults. The ideal candidate will be committed to learning and teaching in emergent, project-based ways, lead by example for the children and ensure a positive and collaborative work environment with all teachers in the classroom.

If you are a flexible, patient and passionate professional looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young children, Kids U is the place for you!
