Expressions of Interest - all early childhood educator qualifications

About us

Our service is a smaller boutique, family owned and operated centre firmly established within the local community. We offer an authentic homelike environment for our children to learn, grow in confidence, develop friendships and flourish. Our team of educators are a very welcoming group who are passionate about their profession and their role in educating within the early childhood environment. The team is smaller and supportive, and they take pride in their achievements, working collaboratively to share responsibilities and daily tasks. The service management prioritises educator development and growth ensuring that individual and team wellbeing is a point of focus. We love investigating new ideas and concepts in order to grow as an early childhood education and care service. As we expand the team, our educators love nothing more than meeting new and likeminded early education professionals who are as equally motivated, committed and driven to achieve high quality early childhood education outcomes.
