If you are looking for an environment where Educators feel like a family, are respected, supported and encouraged to grow both personally and professionally, this is it!


We look for experienced educators, with a Level 1, 2 or 3 in Early Learning (and willing to continue distance schooling if not yet a Level 3). Our ideal Educator will have a child like curiosity and engage deeply with the children as they discover their interests. They will have strong communication skills and enjoy working with families, and building connections within our strong team environment. They will also be problem solvers and look to work through any challenges that may be presented to them in a professional manner. They will be reliable and have a strong work ethic.


We offer a very unique program that is spread out over 7000 square feet. We have flex spaces that the different classrooms share which includes a 2250 square foot natural outdoor classroom with adjoining bike pad and green space, indoor gym, sensory room and maker station. We have a separate, spacious teacher lounge (seen in an image below) with attached kitchen so there is lots of room for programming, eating and relaxing during your time off the floor and during lunch breaks. We are also surrounded by many natural spaces, ponds and playgrounds within walking distance.


We have a fantastic team of dedicated Educators, plentiful resources (toys, loose parts, art supplies, wood materials, etc) and a great Educator resource library. We do regular fundraisers that allow us to bring in many new high quality materials to be shared in the different rooms.


We overstaff our program so that there is always extra support for our teams. This allows us to be flexible in allowing for days off, covering sick days, and giving our team the off floor time they need to do other tasks such as room changes, learning stories, meetings with parents, professional development, etc (we do planning alongside the children).


We are located in Sherwood Park, Alberta (just a short drive from Edmonton and a couple turns off the Whitemud or Henday). While this may be a bit longer of a drive for some, we aim to make it worth it by giving you an impeccable working environment.

Professional Development

We value the growth of our team, as this is imperative to ensure our children are getting the best care and that our team stays up to date with current best practices in Early Education. This is why we overstaff so that our team can have the opportunity to complete some PD during their working hours. We have a beautiful staff room that is well equipped with resource books and computers that our team can use.

FLIGHT Framework

Mindful Moments follows the FLIGHT framework, allowing Educators to plan alongside the children. We use the observations of children at play, suggestions from the children and other ideas we feel may connect to what they are showing us, to inform our next moves in each room.
