About MPCCA

The Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association (MPCCA) operates two licenses child care centres, providing care for children 0-12 years old.  Our mission is to provide high quality and affordable child care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school age children.  We offer nurturing environments and learning experiences for children to ready them for life-long learning and to provide opportunities for children to develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively according to their individual development and learning styles.

Our Philosophy

We honor and value play. We believe that through play, children learn about relationships between people, living beings, materials, and physical places. We believe that play is essential for children to develop critical thinking skills and creativity. In our centres, children are given the opportunity to engage in developmentally appropriate learning activities and spend time exploring their world through play in both indoor and outdoor environments through an emergent-based curriculum.

We are seeking an energetic, creative and positive individual to work in our Preschool Program located at Our House Child Care in Vancouver. The successful applicant will be responsible for providing high quality care and education for 2-5 year olds.
