More than a job. A place to belong

At Little School Early Learning Centre, we believe childhood should feel safe, joyful and full of wonder — and the same goes for the people who work here.

We are a family-owned early learning service, not a large national corporation. We truly focus on the children and that effects every aspect of our business (we don’t even have room budgets!). Decisions are made with heart, educators are known by name, and your voice truly matters.

We are building a team of passionate, kind, and thoughtful educators who want to make a genuine difference in children’s lives every day.

If you value connection, nature, creativity, and teamwork — you’ll feel right at home.
