Join the Dayaa Village as a Trainee Educator or ECT!

(Because it truly takes a village, and we think you might be our missing piece!)

Do you dream of spending your days finger painting, building epic block towers, exploring the wonders of mud pies, and being someone’s favourite grown-up? Are you passionate about learning, growing, and making a real difference in the lives of little people (while occasionally getting glitter stuck in places you didn’t know glitter could go)?

Welcome to Dayaa Early Learning and Preschool!

At Dayaa, we believe in a joyful, child-led, play-based approach where children and educators grow together, hand-in-tiny-hand. We're not your average early learning service—we are a village that celebrates curiosity, champions children’s voices, and treasures the magic of unhurried learning. Here, we don’t rush. We connect. We nurture. We giggle. A lot.

What’s in it for you?

Full, hands-on support while you study your Certificate III or ECT in Early Childhood Education and Care

Mentoring and encouragement from a team that genuinely wants to see you succeed

The chance to be you—bring your creativity, your ideas, and your spark

A workplace where learning is child-led, play-based, slow-paced, and full of heart

A community that believes YOU are just as important as the children we care for

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

Be an amazing partner in play, discovery, and joy

Learn alongside our children—getting your hands dirty, your heart full, and your skills growing

Build warm, trusting relationships where children feel safe to explore, create, and simply be

Embrace the village life—working closely with families, teammates, and the wider community

Bring your authentic self to our home-like, supportive environment

Advocate for children and help create a space where their voices are heard and celebrated

You’ll Love This Role If:

You’re starting your Early Childhood career and are ready to study (or are already studying!)

You’ve got a big heart, an open mind, and a love for the wonder of childhood

You believe that children are capable, powerful little humans

You’re ready to jump in, learn, laugh, and maybe dance like no one’s watching (but the children definitely will be)

Ready to Get Started?

Come and start your journey with us at Dayaa. We’re not just offering you a job—we’re inviting you to be part of something meaningful, something bigger, something that feels like home.
