Do you dream of working somewhere that feels like your second home? A place where creativity blooms, nature calls, and children’s voices lead the way? We’re on the hunt for a passionate educator who lives for muddy puddles, messy projects, and child-led magic.

About Us

We’re more than an early childhood service – we’re a community. Nestled in Grays Point, our nature-inspired haven offers River Kindy and Beyond the Gate adventures, homely environments, and a big dose of the outdoors. With chickens clucking in our nature yard with our gardens growing delicious vegetables to taste, children painting under the trees, and STEM projects sparking curiosity, we’ve built a space where childhood thrives, and children learn how to be curious and respectful citizens of the world.

Our philosophy draws inspiration from Reggio Emilia and the Curiosity Approach, emphasising rights of the child, hands-on projects, and the beauty of discovery. If you believe in child-led play, creative chaos, and fostering lifelong curiosity, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

The Role

We’re searching for an experienced Cert III, Diploma Educator or ECT who:

• Sees the magic in a stick, a puddle, or a handful of mud.

• Believes learning is messy, creative, and best when it’s child led.

• Loves to collaborate with children on projects that emerge from their big ideas.

• Values family vibes and can help create a second home for children and their families.

• Aligns with a Reggio-inspired, nature-based philosophy and champions the rights of the child.

• Enjoys designing homely, aesthetically inviting spaces with natural materials and thoughtful touches.

What We Offer

• A supportive, family-like team where your ideas matter.

• Daily adventures on River Kindy – nature play at its finest or going Beyond the Gate on excursions to explore our local community.

• Opportunities to explore STEM, art, and creativity alongside curious minds.

• A workplace where relationships come first – with children, families, and each other.

• Time to connect, reflect, and grow your practice in alignment with your personal philosophy.

Who You Are

• You’re an adventurer, happiest when exploring alongside children, whether it’s splashing in the river; uncovering the wonders of nature or exploring how to be a respectful, active citizen of the world.

• You see learning as a journey, where children’s curiosity leads the way, and you’re there to foster, guide, and encourage.

• You believe every child has a voice and deserves respect, embracing the rights of the child in all that you do.

• You’re creative and innovative, bringing new ideas for art, STEM, and play-based projects to life.

• You thrive in a family-like team, valuing connections with children, colleagues, and families.

• You’re ready to roll up your sleeves, dive into messy play, and see the beauty in the chaos of childhood.
