Are you ready to take the next step in your early childhood journey—and lead with heart, creativity, and purpose?

We’re a small, privately owned childcare centre that feels more like family than a workplace, and we’re searching for a passionate Lead Educator to join us in creating something truly special every day.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

We’re small and close-knit—you’re not just a number here.

We value relationships over ratios, and heart over hierarchy.

We’re flexible, supportive, and committed to work-life balance.

What You’ll Bring:

A Diploma (or higher) in Early Childhood Education (ACECQA approved)

Experience leading a room and inspiring a team of educators

A passion for planning meaningful learning experiences

A nurturing, respectful approach to children and families

Confidence with EYLF, NQS, documentation, and child safety practices

A warm personality and a can-do, team-first attitude

Essentials:

ACECQA-approved Diploma (or higher)

Valid WWCC

Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis certificates

A strong commitment to child safety and high-quality care

We Offer:

A genuinely supportive environment where you’re valued

Professional development & mentoring to help you thrive

Flexible hours and competitive pay

The chance to shape our program and philosophy

A workplace filled with laughter, learning, and heart
