Our Centre is located within the Community Centre, which provides us with access to community events and wider connections for our children.

We have beautiful natural surroundings in Upper Beaconsfield, including a community garden, a public playground and a large area of greenery to access at anytime.

The pillars of our philosophy are our community connections, nature based programs/play, risky play experiences, and holding our children at a high expectation promoting them to have more control over their own learning!

We have high staff retention, due to our flexible shifts, leave and super supportive team environment.

You need to be able to actively contribute to and be part of a team environment

Someone highly motivated and passionate to drive high quality outcomes for our children and families

Someone who is flexible, demonstrates initiative and contributes their ideas
