Educator (Infants and Toddlers) – Toowoong
Join a Reggio-Inspired Centre with a Heart for Slow Pedagogy

Are you a nurturing, thoughtful educator who believes in deep relationships, curiosity-driven learning, and respectful care?

We are seeking passionate early childhood professionals to join our close-knit, inquiry-led team in Toowoong — just 5 minutes from the train station.

About Us

Our centre is proudly inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, embracing an inquiry-based curriculum and the principles of slow pedagogy. We value calm, time-rich environments where children's learning journeys unfold with intention and care.

In our small team, every educator is known, valued, and supported. We believe meaningful education begins with relationships — between children, families, educators, and the world around us.

The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for part-time and full-time educators to support both our:

Infant Room (0–2 years)

Toddler Room (18 months – 2 years)

This is not your typical role. You'll work within a consistent, relationship-focused team, supporting rooms during non-contact times, contributing to curriculum planning, and engaging in collaborative teaching practices.

You'll form genuine relationships with children, families, and educators while helping co-create a meaningful and responsive learning environment.

What You'll Love

A Reggio Emilia-inspired environment that values time, calm, and curiosity

A team culture that nurtures intentional practice, reflective dialogue, and collaboration

Opportunities to contribute to inquiry projects, documentation, and peer reflection

A central Toowoong location, easily accessible by public transport

Small, supportive teams where your presence and input are valued

Ongoing professional development in pedagogy, theory, and reflective practice

A centre where relationships, social and emotional learning, and the pace of childhood are honoured

What We're Looking For

We are looking for educators who bring warmth, thoughtfulness, and professional curiosity to their work. Our ideal candidate will have:

A relevant qualification or studying towards (Cert III, Diploma, or studying towards an ECT qualification)

A deep understanding of social and emotional development in early childhood

A calm and grounded presence, with a passion for respectful, relationship-based care

The ability to self-reflect on practice and continuously seek growth

A growth mindset and a commitment to lifelong learning

A desire to collaborate, build trust, and engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues

An appreciation for inquiry-based, child-led, and play-rich learning approaches

Valid Australian work rights or appropriate visa status

If you're looking for a place where:

Relationships come first

Your ideas are heard

The whole educator is supported

And where the pace and wonder of childhood is truly respected...

...then this may be your next professional home.
