Centre Director – Embracia Childcare and Kindergarten, Kyneton
Leadership | Vision | Purpose | Intergenerational Innovation

Embracia Childcare and Kindergarten is seeking a passionate, experienced, and values-driven Centre Director to lead our Kyneton service with integrity, vision, and a strong commitment to early childhood education. This is more than just a leadership role—it’s an opportunity to shape the future of our service and help embed intergenerational learning into the heart of our community.

We are family owned, not corporate, and we’re growing in both early childhood and aged care. We're proud of the relationships we build with our people, families, and community. Our Kyneton centre, purpose-built and opened in August 2023, offers 120 places across inspiring indoor and outdoor environments.
