The Board is currently seeking energetic, compassionate, and student-focused Supply Designated Early Childhood Educators (DECE).
As a Supply DECE, you will have the ability to choose which days of the week you are available to work and which geographical locations you would like to work in. This flexibility promotes a positive work/life balance. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to contribute to an OMERS Pension and if interested, and you want to work on a regular basis there are always opportunities for long-term placements which could lead to full-time permanent employment with the DSBN
Reporting to the principal, the Supply Early Childhood Educator works in collaboration with the classroom teacher to provide high quality and effective play-based education to support enhanced learning and cognitive, emotional and social development for Junior and Senior Kindergarten students in a full-day Early Learning Program in DSBN Schools.

Land Acknowledgement
The land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging this reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
