With 76 kindergartens and early learning services across Melbourne, our team of 1100+ dedicated people work together to create joyful and enriching learning experiences with the safeguarding of children at the centre of everything we do. For us, it’s more than just early learning, it’s about building connections, nurturing growth, and being part of something truly meaningful in our communities.

In turn, your child will develop vital social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive skills. Even more importantly, our educators will ensure children are safe, secure and happy while in our kindergarten.
School Readiness Funding is additional funding provided by the Department of Education to address educational disadvantage. This is achieved through building the capacity of educators and families to respond to children’s learning and development.
As an additional educator within the group, you will support the environment, educators and children by providing individualized support, reinforcing learning experiences, and fostering a nurturing environment to enhance each child's development and engagement.
This is a part time, fixed term position ending in December 2026. You will be working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 3pm.
