Puggles School of Early Learning Tamworth is ready to welcome you!

We are seeking dedicated Early Childhood Teachers and/or Primary Education Teachers (ACECQA-approved equivalent, or actively working towards) to join our amazing team!

At Puggles, we are committed to providing high-quality education and care for children from 6 weeks to school age, while fostering an incredible working environment for our staff.

Our centre is privately owned and operated by a local family who believe in the value and potential of early education for every child. We offer a friendly and welcoming environment for new team members, with regular professional development events and opportunities to network with other dedicated and passionate educators, both locally and in Sydney.

We are also deeply committed to sustainability—our paddock-to-plate approach and agricultural program promote healthy eating and environmental responsibility, ensuring that our children learn about the importance of sustainability as part of their development. Through hands-on experiences, children engage with growing their own food, understanding where it comes from, and learning how to care for the environment.

Our centre lays the foundations for lifelong learning skills that are essential for success in all areas of life, including school. Our families appreciate our approach to early education, which focuses on building trusting relationships with children, ensuring they feel safe, confident, and ready to grow and learn to their full potential.
