The Cortes Island playschool is still seeking to fill two vacancies and has a lot of support and flexibility for the right candidates.
CKTZ News spoke with Mary Lavelle, Manager of Care, and Manager of Manson’s Hall, which is where the playschool is located, falling under the umbrella of the Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA).
She explains that the playschool has been running for over 30 years, and having no program this fall is a highly unusual situation, exacerbated by changed COVID-19 protocols, as well as needing skilled employees for a job able to only offer part-time hours on an island with a housing crisis.
