Careers @ TOPP KIDS
Do the work that matters most
in a kid’s day.
If you love kids and want work that truly makes a difference in your community, you belong here. Come as you are — we’ll bring the training, the benefits, and a team that treats you like family from your very first day.
Join the team!
We’re always growing
Our hours fit your life. Your talent fits our kiddos.
Already in education? You’re closer than you think.
EAs, substitute teachers, recent B.Ed. grads waiting on contracts, retired teachers — your school-day schedule ends exactly when ours begins, and you already understand school-age kids.
Certified ECEs
Put your credentials to work in programs that treat you like the professional you are — with wage top-ups that recognize it.
Post-Secondary Students
Hours that fit around classes, funded certification — and yes, you can do your practicum with us.
Coaches, Artists & Camp Leaders
Already great with kids? Bring your craft — we’ll add the child development training.
Experienced Leaders & Managers
Already a leader? Lead something that matters — coordinate a program, coach a team, grow into PSM pathways.
The best part? Your midday is yours.
The schedule that makes this job work with your life — and you’re working right inside the school your kiddos attend.
Before-school program
Early mornings with the kiddos — done by the school bell.
Your time ✨
Classes, your own kids, a second gig, the gym, a nap — or pick up midday hours right in the school with Kindi programs and support roles. The middle of your day belongs to you.
After-school program
The best hours of a kid’s day, bell to 6:00 PM.
