early childhood educator (ECE)

Ocean Rain International Daycare Center Inc. · Victoria, BC · $36.60 hourly

Verdict

Ocean Rain International Daycare Center Inc. is a legitimate, established employer with verified website, matching business details, and a dedicated careers page. The posting is detailed, role-appropriate, and includes proper certifications and screening questions. However, the use of a generic Gmail address (eceoceanrain@gmail.com) for applications is a minor concern, as is the request for physical mail submissions—both are somewhat unusual for a modern employer but not disqualifying given the strong legitimacy signals from web verification.
