Muddy Boot Prints is an unlicensed, fully outdoor early learning program for children aged 2.5-5yrs. There is no indoor facility for our program. We follow the Forest School philosophy in East Vancouver parks between Main Street and Renfrew Street. At Muddy Boot Prints, we go out to play and learn every day, regardless of the weather! Our play-based curriculum is guided by the BC Early Learning Framework, emergent and responsive to childrens' inquiries about local wildlife, plant life and more. 

Our ideal candidate would have a passion for getting children outside and into nature. While outdoor education experience is preferred, it is not mandatory. What is mandatory is being comfortable outside in all weather! We are an inclusive and very supportive work environment that will offer onsite training to the right candidate.
