Reporting to the Campus Director and working closely with Lead and Group Teachers, this role supports classroom readiness, ratio coverage, and consistent supervision throughout the day. Assistant Educators bring warmth, reliability, and collaborative spirit — helping every child feel safe, cared for, and engaged in their learning journey. This position is not assigned to one specific age group or homeroom, offering flexibility to assist wherever support is needed — from early morning coverage to transitions, breaks, and end-of-day routines. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Child Care & Supervision Provide consistent, nurturing supervision that promotes each child’s sense of safety and belonging.

Health, Safety & Licensing Follow Fueling Brains’ and provincial child care health and safety regulations. Conduct visual safety checks in classrooms, playgrounds, and washrooms. Sanitize toys, surfaces, and materials regularly throughout the day. Follow proper hygiene and allergy management protocols. Report accidents, injuries, or concerns promptly to the Lead Teacher or Campus Director. Team Collaboration Work cooperatively with all educators to maintain daily flow and classroom consistency. Provide coverage during educator breaks or shift transitions as needed. Communicate clearly and respectfully to ensure accurate handovers and updates. Participate in team meetings, professional development, and campus events. Family Support & Professional Conduct Greet families warmly at drop-off and pick-up, assisting with transitions as directed.
