We are seeking a qualified toddler Kaiako to join our passionate, committed and supportive team of professionals for our small, privately owned and operated centre in Petone, Lower Hutt.

This is a permanent position in our toddler room (approx 30 hours per week, negotiable).

You will need to enjoy working in a collaborative teaching environment and find joy in creating engaging learning opportunities in a home‑like setting. Children are given the time, space, and encouragement they need to learn and grow.

We not only encourage and support our tamariki and whānau to learn and grow, we also believe in empowering our educators to make decisions and provide an innovative, creative, and fun learning environment in which they too can learn, grow, and flourish.

Our philosophy is visible through our commitment to environmental sustainability, the natural environment and working in partnership with parents, whānau and the wider community to support children’s learning.

As a team member you will enjoy :

• A small, supportive, professional team environment
• Ongoing certification and PD support
• Other employee benefits such as paid first aid
• Nature-loving, sustainable learning environment, with weekly opportunities to venture into the community and the wider outdoor environment (local nature reserve)
• Respectful relationships and practices
• An established transition to school programme and strong relationships with local schools
• Participation in the creative and visual arts, Enviroschools programme and Healthy Heart programme

We will consider all applications from new graduates to fully qualified and experienced educators.
