Oversee program design and delivery, including play‑based and Indigenous‑informed approaches.

Mentor, support, and develop ECE staff, fostering a strong, collaborative team culture.

Manage enrollment, documentation, and administrative systems.

Build and maintain strong relationships with families, Elders, and community partners.

Monitor program quality and support children’s growth and development.

Contribute to ongoing program development and continuous improvement initiatives.

Clear Criminal Record Check, Vulnerable Sector Check, and Child Abuse Registry Check

Valid Manitoba driver’s license with access to a reliable vehicle

Demonstrated experience in staff supervision, program management, and regulatory compliance

Knowledge of Indigenous (First Nations, Red River Métis, and Inuit) perspectives and land‑based learning

Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills

Collaborative, adaptable, and community‑focused approach

Additional Requirements NETES requires a clear and satisfactory Criminal Record Check prior to the start of employment. All checks must be dated within three (3) months of the start date.
