*About Us:*
We are unique! The Doncaster-Oakcrest Child Care Society is a non-profit child care association in new 'learning-studios' on the site of Doncaster school. We believe in providing a safe, stimulating and fun environment in which the child?s individual growth of body, mind and spirit, is encouraged through play-based learning. We run 3 programs alongside each other (daycare, preschool and out of school care) that are overseen by an onsite manager. Management is very knowledgeable with many years experience and makes sure we are well taken care of and always supported.
Our child care team is made up of creative, caring, calm, and compassionate child educators that value and support, openness, respect, creativity, and teamwork. The ratios for these positions are low! We have 16 spaces in each program and enhanced staff ratios. This provides much room and staff support. We believe that more staff means more combined knowledge of educators and therefore, more opportunity for all kinds of learning, fun and activities for the kids. We create many themes throughout the year, follow an alphabet program, do art daily and much more! We think this is a fun place to be and we hope you will consider applying.
Sincerely,
Carla ~ DOCCS Child Care Manager
