Who We Are
MindKind Early Years is a preschool and day care creating thoughtful early childhood experiences through nature-based learning, gentle caregiving, child-led exploration, mindful movement and awareness, while honouring each child’s individual pace of growth and development.
Who We're Looking For
At MindKind Early Years (MKEY), we believe great educators are defined not just by what they know, but by how they make children feel. We are looking for warm, patient, and curious facilitators who genuinely enjoy spending time with young children, believe in learning through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships and guide children rather than instruct.
Above all, we are looking for educators who lead with kindness, curiosity, and presence. Individuals who understand that every interaction is an opportunity to nurture a child's confidence, independence, and love for learning will be preferred.
