early childhood educator (ECE) assistant
Tiggers Playschool Daycare · Victoria, BC · $24.00 hourly
Verdict
This posting shows strong legitimacy signals: the employer is a real, licensed childcare center with a reachable website that matches the business name and location. The job description is detailed and specific to early childhood education, with realistic salary, qualifications, and responsibilities. However, the use of a generic Gmail address (undertheumbrellainc1161@gmail.com) for applications is a notable concern, as legitimate employers typically use company-domain email addresses. This single red flag prevents a lower score but does not override the substantial verification evidence.
