  • Regular professional development opportunities

  • 50% off childcare fees for your child

  • Privately owned centre - we know and care about our staff

What we need from you:

  • Qualified and registered (provisional and primary trained okay) kaiako

  • Passionate about the children we educate and care for and a love of teaching

  • A philosophy centered around respectful practices with tamariki, colleagues and whānau

  • A strong belief in child-led learning and allowing tamariki to develop and learn at their own pace
