Early Childhood Teacher - Preschool room

Are you an experienced Early Childhood Teacher ready to take the lead in an inspiring and purposefully designed preschool space?

We are seeking a confident, creative, and committed Early Childhood Teacher to lead our preschool program for children aged 3–5 years. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a progressive and well-resourced early learning environment with a strong focus on school readiness, the Reggio Emilia philosophy, and meaningful staff collaboration.

About the Role:

Key Responsibilities:

• Promote school readiness through intentional teaching practices and engaging experiences

• Conduct and participate in weekly team meetings and critical reflections

• Create an inclusive, supportive, and joyful learning environment using the classroom as the third teacher

• Foster respectful, open partnerships with families and the wider community

• Participate in the planning and execution of innovative excursions that enhance learning and align with project teaching

• Three vibrant outdoor yards

• A dedicated atelier

• A dramatic play room

• A children's library
   

We’re deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and are looking for a teacher who is too—someone who sees children as capable, curious learners and values inquiry-based learning.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (or ACECQA approved equivalent)

• Experience in leading a room and mentoring educators, including trainees

• Confidence in programming, documentation and school readiness planning

• Strong understanding of the EYLF and NQS

• Familiarity with the Reggio Emilia philosophy

• Excellent communication, leadership and reflective practice skills

• Current WWCC, First Aid & CPR, and Child Protection training

What We Offer:

• A competitive salary based on your experience and qualifications

• Flexible rotating roster to support work-life balance

• A thoughtfully resourced and well-staffed environment

• Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities

• Supportive and collaborative leadership team

• A workplace culture that values innovation, creativity and the voice of educators

Join us in shaping the early learning journey of young children in a space where curiosity is celebrated, educators are respected, and every day brings something new.
