What Resources and Job Postings Are Available on wstcoast.org?

wstcoast.org is the website of the Westcoast Child Care Resource Centre (WCCRC), a BC-based organization that provides resources, referrals, and training for families, child care professionals, and organizations. If you are looking for a resource library, early childhood educator (ECE) job postings, or ongoing news and updates, the site organizes these into distinct sections. The main areas relevant to resources and jobs are the Resource Library, Job Postings, the E-Newsletter, and the News/Podcasts/Articles feed.

Resource Library

The site describes a Resource Library intended for three audiences: professionals, students, and parents/caregivers. This is the central access point for reference material rather than a single downloadable file.

• Who it serves: certified Early Childhood Educators and early years professionals, students entering the field, and parents or caregivers.
• Related library: WCCRC also operates the Westcoast Early Learning Library (WELL), described as a source of resources for both educators and the children in their care.
• How to use it: start from the Resource Library entry on the site, then narrow by your role (professional, student, or parent/caregiver) to find relevant material.

If your goal is parenting guidance or professional reference material, the Resource Library and WELL are the two named destinations to check.

Job Postings

The site includes a Job Postings section for Early Childhood Educator roles.

• What you can do: submit a job posting, or view existing ECE job postings.
• Who it is for: employers or organizations hiring ECEs, and job seekers looking for positions in the child care field.

This is a dedicated board rather than a general careers page, so it is most useful if you are specifically hiring or searching within early childhood education.

Staying Updated: E-Newsletter and News Feed

WCCRC provides two channels for updates:

The site notes that the news feed may show no items when none match the current criteria, so an empty feed does not necessarily mean the section is inactive.

Finding Child Care and Other Services

Beyond resources and jobs, the site supports families directly:

• Find Childcare portal: a search tool to narrow down child care options.
• Choosing Child Care: tools and resources to help find quality child care in Vancouver, including a list of child care providers and help navigating provincial subsidy applications.
• Vancouver Child Care Resource & Referral (VCCRR): WCCRC is the host organization for this program, which serves child care providers and families within the City of Vancouver. For CCRRs in other BC communities, the site points to the Province of British Columbia's CCRR page.

Professional Development

For educators, WCCRC describes itself as a leader in professional development for certified ECEs and early years professionals. Its curriculum covers topics for people just entering the field as well as experienced educators. You can view workshops through the site's Workshops section.
