Program Supervisor · Wainwright

$55,000 – $60,000per year

You will lead the day-to-day life of our programs in Wainwright — the routines, the room plans, and the educators who deliver them. It is a hands-on role: part mentor, part planner, part problem-solver, and always close to the children and families we serve.

This range includes the Government of Alberta wage top-up for certified educators.

What you will do

  • Develop, run and review program goals, routines and policies so every room reflects how we teach.
  • Supervise and mentor educators — coaching in the moment, not only at review time.
  • Oversee daily operations and keep the centre aligned with Alberta licensing and accreditation standards.
  • Manage the program budget, watch spending, and make sure resources land where children benefit.
  • Work with families, schools and community partners on program activities and outreach.
  • Prepare reports on how programs, outcomes and spending are tracking.
  • Run staff meetings and in-house training, and keep professional development moving.
  • Sort out staffing gaps, schedule clashes and room issues early, before they reach families.
  • Keep records, documentation and reporting accurate and up to date.

What you bring

  • Alberta Level 3 certification (Child Development Supervisor) — required.
  • At least one year in a supervisory or program management role in a related field.
  • Confidence with administration — record keeping, reporting and documentation.
  • A track record of leading a team and keeping the mood collaborative.
  • A clear Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector and a Child Welfare Intervention Record Check.
  • Current standard first aid, or the willingness to complete it — we will help you get there.

Email your resume with “Program Supervisor – Wainwright” in the subject line. We read every application ourselves, and interviews happen on site during the day so you can see the rooms you would be leading.

Work that matters, every day

We value team members who bring positive energy, patience, and a strong commitment to creating a safe and engaging environment for every child. As part of our team you will build meaningful connections, support early development, and contribute to a workplace that values growth, teamwork, and community.

What We Look For

Our kind of educator

Experienced

Related experience and education in early childhood care.

Positive

A positive attitude and genuine respect for diversity.

Creative

Creative, patient, and grounded in high integrity.

Planning

Able to effectively plan and implement early learning through play.

Communication

Communicates and collaborates well with children, families and colleagues.

Record checks

A clear Criminal Record Check and Child Welfare Check are required.

Certification

Where you are now is fine

Alberta certifies early childhood educators at three levels. We hire at all three, and we will help you move up.

Level 1 — Child Development Assistant

A single orientation course gets you started. If you are new to the field and good with children, this is the door in.

Level 2 — Child Development Worker

A one-year certificate in early learning and childcare, or an equivalent assessed by the province.

Level 3 — Child Development Supervisor

A two-year diploma or degree. Level 3 educators can lead a room and supervise a program.

Alberta pays a wage top-up to certified educators working in licensed programs, on top of your wage from us. We will walk you through the certification application and the top-up paperwork — it is the same paperwork we do every month, and we would rather do it with you than have it put you off applying.

How to Apply

Three steps, and a real conversation

1

Send your resume

Email it to info@exploringwonders.com and tell us which location interests you.

2

Come and see the room

We would rather show you the centre than describe it. Interviews happen on site, during the day.

3

Certification & checks

We will walk you through Alberta certification levels and the required Criminal Record and Child Welfare checks.
