At Beacons’ Early Learning Collective (BEL-C), we’re more than educators — we’re a community of mentors, innovators, and caregivers lighting the way to lifelong learning. Whether through early learning, after-school enrichment, tutoring, or educator training, we help children, families, and professionals thrive together.
We are a growing collective of educators, artists, and caregivers who see learning as a shared journey. At BEL-C, we believe in collaboration, creativity, and care — principles that guide every classroom, studio, and community space we create.
We offer:
Our values — Belonging, Empowerment, Authenticity, Creativity, Openness, Nurturing, and Self-Confidence — shape every relationship and learning environment we create.
Our community thrives on passion, curiosity, and heart. We welcome educators and partners who embody The BEACONS’ Way.
Support children’s growth through play and relationship-based care in BEL-Haven environments.
Lead small-group or 1:1 sessions in math, literacy, STEM, or arts through BEYOND Learning Hub programs.
Bring creative arts, leadership, and wellness to life through short-term workshops and Saturday studios.
Operate home-based childcare programs while accessing mentorship, training, and resources through our provider network.
Coordinate spaces, communications, and logistics that help our programs thrive across Ottawa.

At BEL-C, our teaching philosophy connects knowledge and character. We integrate Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? with our STREALM model — Science & Social Studies, Technology, Reading & Research, Engineering, Arts, Languages & Communication, Math & Mentorship.
We believe educators are lifelong learners. Every role includes mentorship, creativity, and leadership opportunities.
