ECE II Wanted: A Nature-Based Curriculum Architect To Lead, Inspire, & Grow

Location: Osborne Village | Focus: Nature play Based Pedagogy with Indigenous Perspectives

Does your passion for pedagogy live outdoors?

At Splash Early Learning Centre, we believe our children deserve more than just supervision—they deserve an architect of wonder. We are seeking a high-energy, driven ECE II who creates a curriculum based on the children’s spark.

We need an educator who understands that the land is also a teacher. If you have the initiative to lead by example, the stamina to stay active with children, and the heart to weave Indigenous culture and history into the fabric of our program, you belong here.

The Splash Way: Where Heart Meets High Standards

We live by the CARES philosophy: Collaboration, Acceptance, Respect, Excellence, and Safety.

  • Nature as the Classroom: From urban gardens to the respect given to the history of the Red River’s banks, we connect children to the earth. We are looking for someone who views Forest School principles as a way of life.
  • Honoring the Land: We are committed to embedding Indigenous teachings, history, and a deep respect for the land into our emergent curriculum.
  • Driven by Purpose: Our team is reflective and supportive, but we move with intention. We value leaders who take the initiative, follow through on big ideas, and bring infectious energy to every interaction.

The Role: Leading with Energy & Intent

This is a role for a doer. As our Curriculum Architect, you will:

  • Design with Vision: Create a nature-based, emergent curriculum that challenges children’s development and honors Indigenous perspectives.
  • Lead the Charge: This is a hands-on role. You will be physically active—exploring, climbing, and discovering alongside the children.
  • Mentor with Excellence: Help set the bar for your team. We need an educator who models professional ethics, clear documentation, and proactive communication.
  • Connect Deeply: Use your drive to truly see and respond to the individual needs of our children, ensuring no spark of curiosity goes unnoticed.

Why Splash is Different

  • Investment in You: We have many dedicated professional development days throughout the year. We value growth, yours just as much as the children's.
  • Space to Breathe: Enjoy one-hour breaks and 3 weeks of paid vacation (after one year).
  • Full Security: Competitive salary following The Splash Pay Grade Scale, Pension Plan, Manulife benefits, and MCCA membership.
  • Vibrant Location: Work in the creative heart of Osborne Village, utilizing the city’s most eclectic natural and urban spaces.
