Founding Supervisor

Are you passionate about shaping young minds and excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up?

Gan Shalom is launching a brand-new licensed preschool and is seeking a dedicated and entrepreneurial Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) to serve as our Founding Supervisor. This is a rare opportunity to help create a warm, relationship-driven, community-centered early learning environment from day one.

As Supervisor, you will play a central leadership role in establishing our preschool’s culture, systems, and educational approach. You will work closely with leadership and an experienced early childhood consultant to implement a high-quality, play-based curriculum aligned with Ontario’s Child Care and Early Years Act.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead many aspects of the start-up process.
• Help design classroom layout, policies, procedures, and operational systems.
• Recruit, hire, and mentor early childhood educators and assistants.
• Foster a positive, collaborative, and mission-driven team culture.
• Implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum under the guidance of a consultant.
• Ensure full compliance with Ministry regulations and health & safety standards.
• Build strong, open relationships with families.
• Oversee daily operations, documentation, and administrative responsibilities.
• Shape the long-term vision and growth of the preschool.

This is not simply a supervisory role within an existing system, it is a leadership opportunity to build that system.
