Why consider the Kootenays
Many educators choose the Kootenays for its community connection, natural surroundings, and balanced pace of life.
The Kootenays are more than just a place to work; it’s a lifestyle.
We’re here to help you explore what’s possible.
The Province of British Columbia has significantly invested in expanding access to affordable, licensed childcare. This vital growth directly translates into a strong and sustained need for qualified ECEs to nurture and educate our youngest learners.
To streamline and strengthen this effort, we’ve proudly partnered with Kootenay Talent + Recruitment. This collaboration ensures a high-quality experience for candidates like you, connecting you with rewarding opportunities in our growing network of Child Care Centres.
Please note that we are unable to advise on immigration pathways in any way. We recognize that applicants may have questions on these topics, and we encourage you to seek the support of an immigration consultant, lawyer, or nonprofit working in this field.
Furthermore, please note that at this time, very few childcare providers we work with can support sponsorship through the Rural Canadian Immigration Pilot (RCIP).
