Early Childhood Educator Certificate III

Reference number: 10773

Closing date: 11:00pm, Friday 29 August 2025

Submit your application now to work within our largest long day care centre, Milleara Integrated Learning and Development Centre for Children and partner with children and their families to support and enhance children's learning.

The service is strongly connected to the community. Throughout the year our educators arrange regular excursions and connection with their community. Excursions are based on children's interests and promoting their development. We encourage our children to be active citizens within the community.

The service uses an approach to early childhood education that promotes multi-aged rooms which allows siblings and other significant children to interact in flexible learning spaces, both indoors and outdoors. The service offers a large outdoor natural play area; children are able to engage and learn with other children and educators from all rooms.

The service's goal is that all children arrive at school ready for learning. This is supported through social and emotional development and building resilience by using an independent self-help approach.

The service is located on the corner of Keilor Park Drive and Milleara Road, with easy access to the Calder Freeway and Western Ring Road. The service has its own off-street car park giving easy access to the centre for families.
