Who We Are

NETES is a not-for-profit Indigenous organization supporting the success of Indigenous people in Winnipeg. We offer adult education, skills training and employment services, along with wrap-around services such as daycare, student housing, and health and wellness programming. Rooted in community, respect, and Indigenous values, our work helps build a strong, thriving Indigenous community.

Kookum’s Place is an Indigenous-led, community-centred early learning program dedicated to supporting children and families through relationship-based care that honours Indigenous culture, values, and ways of knowing. Our approach is rooted in respect, connection, and belonging, with a strong emphasis on play-based and land-based learning.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Assistant Director (Pedagogical Mentor – Preschool) for a pedagogical leadership role focused on supporting high-quality early learning for children ages 2–6.

Working alongside early childhood educators, this position provides hands-on mentorship, modeling, and reflective guidance to strengthen play-based, emergent programming aligned with MELCC standards and Kookum’s Place philosophy.

This role prioritizes mentorship while also supporting the Director and ensuring continuity of operations when required.

  • Support educators in observation, documentation, and reflective practice.
  • Guide educators in recognizing children’s cues, stress responses, and developmental needs to inform responsive strategies.
  • Support environmental adjustments and preventative approaches that strengthen classroom experiences.

Staff Development and Training

  • Identify professional learning needs among early childcare educators.
  • Work with leadership to coordinate training and professional development
  • Follow up with educators to ensure training is implemented in practice.
  • Provide ongoing coaching and mentorship after training, helping educators apply new knowledge within their classrooms.
  • Support reflective discussions during staff meetings and professional learning opportunities.

Program Quality and Cultural Integration

  • Support educators in implementing early learning training and Indigenous pedagogical approaches.
  • Support educators in developing inclusive, culturally grounded learning environments.
  • Support implementation of play-based, emergent curriculum guided by children’s interests.
  • Monitor and reflect to identify patterns or emerging needs within classroom.
  • Coach and support educators (ECEs and CCAs) in daily practice.
  • Foster a respectful, collaborative team environment.

Qualifications

  • Early Childhood Educator (III).
  • Experience mentoring, coaching, or supporting educators in early learning settings.
  • Strong understanding of Indigenous pedagogy, cultural teachings, and land-based learning.
  • Knowledge of the Child Care and Early Years Act and How Does Learning Happen.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with educators, leadership, and community partners.
  • Commitment to reflective practice and ongoing professional learning.
  • Willing to take further training.
  • Current CRC with Vulnerable Sector and Child Abuse Registry Check.
  • Drivers License and access to vehicle.
