The successful candidate will work closely with the Centre Manager and Executive Director to provide clear guidance and leadership to Educators, while overseeing the planning and implementation of the center's curriculum and program offerings.

Creative thinking, along with the ability to ensure that children, families, and colleagues feel understood and respected, reflects how the School Age Supervisor represents the Lakewood community.

This position has its primary responsibilities on the floor, working directly with children and Educators to remain attuned to children’s interests and to identify where staff may need additional support, mentorship, or direction.

The School Age Supervisor also acts as a liaison for families, school and is responsible for a variety of tasks that promote the smooth day to day operation of the program. They will assume duties as assigned in the absence of the Centre Manager and executive director.

Effective communication and the ability to think creatively when addressing conflicts or concerns are essential skills for this role.

Each member of our team brings their own unique skills, all of which help our team to grow, adapt, and continuously improve. We are a learning center committed to ongoing mentorship that supports the development of compassion, empathy, strong programming skills, meaningful documentation, and effective communication. This approach allows our Educators to be passionate about the important work we do every day.
