Into The Woods Early Learning Child Care Studio

Into the Woods Early Learning Child Care Studio opened in early 2023 and is located in a secluded natural setting within the heart of Qualicum Beach. As a non profit, the Into the Woods Early Learning Child Care Society operates in a beautiful and purpose built child care studio. The Studio enjoys the support of the Qualicum Beach community, local early years advocates, a strong and dedicated Board of Directors and the BC government.

The Board of Directors is committed to providing children with a rich curriculum emphasizing hands-on, real-world learning experiences that serve to strengthen their connection with the natural world in a way that increases environmental stewardship.

The Board recognizes the key to providing the high quality care for 36 children, ages 0-5 years, is our Early Years Educators.

Into the Woods strives to support highly motivated educators by offering:
• Competitive compensation and benefits,
• On-site professional development opportunities
• Reduced child-teacher ratio
• Curriculum planning time.

Join the Into the Woods Team of Educators:

We are currently looking for a team of passionate Educators and an Executive Director who enjoy being in nature and sharing this love with children.

TIP OF THE MONTH – JUNE 2024

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in the trades industry?

Are you between the ages of 16-29 and are currently unemployed or underemployed?

If you answered yes, Pathway to Trades (PTT) could be just what you are looking for! This is an exciting opportunity to sample various trades in the construction industry such as electrical, carpentry, plumbing and more.

Participants will gain valuable knowledge, skills and experience by attending classroom sessions over twelve weeks. Throughout these sessions, training will be provided in soft skills, pre-employment skills, and short term occupational skills.

We are thrilled to partner with Vancouver Island University (VIU) who will deliver the trades exploration and foundational learning portion of the program. This component also includes hands on learning projects to put your new knowledge into practice, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills. As this instruction will take place right here in Parksville, participants will not have to travel to the Nanaimo VIU campus!

Additional benefits of attending this FREE local program include small group learning, the opportunity to gain employer contacts, acquire skills in networking, and participate in hands on work experience. As well as free training and certifications, learners will receive a small weekly allowance.
