Toddler Room Leader (Diploma Qualified)

Safe N Sound Clarkson — Where Little Futures Take Shape

We’re looking for a Toddler Room Leader who sees early childhood education as world‑shaping work. Someone who believes children are capable, curious, and full of potential — and who wants to be part of a centre that nurtures future changemakers through warmth, trust, creativity, and genuine connection.

This isn’t just a leadership role. It’s an opportunity to help shape a culture where curiosity is celebrated, relationships are honoured, and every child is seen as capable, creative, and full of potential.

At Safe N Sound Clarkson, our philosophy is grounded in nurturing future changemakers with principles that honour children as thinkers, explorers, collaborators, and contributors. We’re building a centre where educators feel empowered, valued, and supported to bring their best selves to their work every day and we help children build the confidence, creativity, resilience, and adaptability that will allow them to thrive in a constantly changing world.

The position will be a part-time contract after a 3 month trail period. Expected hours are a minimum of 4 days a week, complete open and close shifts and willing to be a Responsible Person.

You’ll guide the daily flow of our toddler room, nurture strong relationships with children and their families, and support your team to create an environment where children feel safe, inspired, and empowered to explore. You will work as a part of a cohesive team that support and uplift each other.
