Cherry Grove is a privately owned centre that has been specifically designed to cater for the needs of children from 0 to 6 years of age. Our age and stage specific rooms, and large teaching staff, recognise the importance of providing appropriate group sizes to allow for nurturing, responsive, and supportive interactions for infants and young children.

We are looking for a dedicated teacher to work across our 2 Kindergarten rooms alongside a fun and supportive team who are passionate about supporting children to successfully transition to school.

The 3-year-old kindergarten room (Cherry Bees) is part of the large environment where children and teachers can interact with each other but still have their own room for routines, curriculum delivery and quiet time.

The 4-year-old kindergarten room (Honey Bees) is a purpose-built self-contained building and playground designed for kindergarten age children. Located separately from the main early childhood centre, the kindergarten room offers a distinct environment tailored to the school readiness needs of 4-year-olds while maintaining strong connections to the broader Cherry Grove community.

We are seeking a qualified teacher to join our team. Attributes essential for this role includes the skill to extend children’s learning and creating a fun learning space.

Benefits are :

• Extended pay parity
• Teacher registration and first aid training
• Discounted childcare
• Light meals with the children
• Membership to ECE Learning Unlimited
• Teach with a team of 90%+ qualified teachers.

If you are a passionate teacher join us at Cherry Grove Childcare & Family Centre, Havelock North. Hours are somewhat flexible, this position could be a 4-day working week. February 2026 start date.

We can only accept NZ residents or those who hold an open NZ working visa. We are not an accredited employer.
