• You are aware of the expectations and requirements of Community Care Licensing.
• You work within the ECEBC Code of Ethics.

• A BC Early Childhood Educator license to practice is required
• An Infant and Toddler certificate is required
• Special Needs certificate is an asset
• Experience working with infants, toddlers and children with complex needs is an asset
