Daycare & ECE Jobs in Canada

Real daycare jobs for newcomers and international students — early childhood educator, ECE assistant and supervisor roles. Free for job seekers: employers pay us, you never do.

Overview

Canada's daycares are hiring. We get you in the door.

Child care centres across Canada are short-staffed, and demand for early childhood educators keeps growing. The Solution Hub places newcomers and international students directly with hiring daycares — this is the placement work we do most, and the work we're best at.

You get an ATS-friendly resume built for child care hiring, honest guidance on which roles match your credentials, interview preparation, and introductions to centres that are actually hiring — not just job-board links.

Our placement help costs you nothing. Hiring daycares fund the service. We never charge job seekers a placement fee.

Roles We Place

From your first daycare job to leading a room

ECE Assistant

The most common starting point — many centres hire assistants without provincial registration. A great first Canadian job in child care.

Early Childhood Educator (RECE)

Registered ECE roles for candidates with recognized credentials — we guide you through registration if you trained outside Canada.

Room Supervisor & Program Staff

For experienced educators — lead roles, before/after-school programs, and centres looking for senior staff.

Atlantic Canada Placements

ECE roles with designated employers in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia — some connect to the Atlantic Immigration Program.

Credentials

Do you need certification?

It depends on the role and the province. In Ontario, the title "Registered Early Childhood Educator" requires registration with the College of Early Childhood Educators — but centres also hire assistants and program staff without registration. Other provinces have their own certification levels and processes.

If you trained outside Canada, your credentials may qualify for equivalency assessment. During your free assessment we map your education to the right role level and, where registration makes sense, point you to the official provincial process — so you never pay for steps you don't need.

Early childhood educators and assistants fall under NOC 42202, which has appeared in Express Entry category-based draws for education occupations — use our NOC Finder and CRS Calculator to see where you stand. Immigration advice for your specific case is provided through a licensed consultant.

Not always. Registered ECE roles in Ontario require registration with the College of Early Childhood Educators, but many centres also hire ECE assistants and program staff without registration. We tell you honestly which roles fit your current credentials and how to upgrade them.
