We are currently seeking an experienced and committed Nominated Supervisor to join our family-run 45-place early learning centre where every child is known, every family is valued, and educators are supported to thrive.
About Us
We are a family-owned and operated early childhood service that takes great pride in delivering high-quality education and care in a warm, nurturing environment.

Our close-knit team shares a genuine passion for early education and works collaboratively to foster a culture of trust, reflection, and ongoing learning.
The Role
As our Nominated Supervisor, you will lead the daily operations of the centre, working closely with the Approved Provider and educational leadership team to ensure the delivery of a high-quality, compliant, and inspiring early learning program. You will play a key role in mentoring our educators, guiding pedagogical practices, and cultivating strong, respectful partnerships with families and the broader community.
