Early Childhood Educator Diploma

Reference number: 10732

Closing date: 11:00pm, 7 September 2025

Submit your application now to work within one of our welcoming and inclusive services, Flemington Street Children's Centre, close to Flemington Community Centre and the Racecourse Road shopping area, with easy access to public transport.

The service's learning program is taken from the National Quality Framework, which is a child-centred learning environment. The child is educated taking into account their knowledge, abilities, ideas, and culture. The program is organised to enhance children's learning through a routine which exposes them to meaningful interactions with opportunities to solve their own problems.

Children's learning is enhanced by the service's team of highly qualified and enthusiastic educators. Where possible the children's learning is helped by external presenters providing resources and opportunities for children to explore ideas further. Sometimes the learning may take place outside of the service through a planned excursion, where children can visit the local community to further enhance their learning.
