Job description

Assistant Educator – Kindy Place Early Learning | Ashmore, QLD

Are you a caring, enthusiastic educator who believes every child deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated? At Kindy Place Early Learning, we're looking for a passionate Assistant Educator to join our warm and welcoming team.

Kindy Place was lovingly founded by a local mother of three who dreamed of creating the kind of early learning environment she'd be proud to send her own children to. That vision continues to shape everything we do. Our handpicked educators — many of whom are mothers or grandmothers — bring genuine care, warmth, and experience to each day.

Here, children are not just taught — they are truly known, encouraged, and celebrated as they learn, grow, play, and develop a strong sense of belonging.

Our environment is calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. With beautifully resourced learning spaces and a nature-filled setting, you'll always have the tools and support you need to create meaningful experiences for children.

About the Role

As an Assistant Educator, you'll work alongside our experienced educators to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can thrive. You'll support daily routines, contribute to play-based learning experiences, and help build strong, positive relationships with children, families, and your fellow educators.

You'll become an important part of our close-knit team, where collaboration, encouragement, and genuine support are part of everyday life. We value open communication, celebrate successes together, and enjoy regular team-building activities and social events.

If you're passionate about early childhood education and love making a positive difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Bring

• Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (or currently working towards it)

• Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma and Anaphylaxis Certification (or willingness to obtain)

• Current Child Protection Training (or willingness to obtain)

• Current Blue Card

• A genuine passion for supporting children's learning and wellbeing

• A positive attitude and willingness to work collaboratively as part of a supportive team

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Family-owned, community-focused centre — not part of a corporate chain

• Supportive, hands-on owners who genuinely value and appreciate their team

• A welcoming team culture with regular social events and team-building activities

• Above-award pay, based on your experience

• A calm, well-resourced learning environment where you'll have everything you need to succeed

• Ongoing professional development and opportunities to grow your career

• The opportunity to work in a centre that truly values meaningful relationships with children, families, and educators

If you're looking for a workplace where you'll feel supported, appreciated, and inspired every day, we'd love to welcome you to the Kindy Place family.
