About Peak Childcare and Kindergarten

At Peak Childcare & Kindergarten, we believe every child is unique and deserves personalised care, meaningful connections and opportunities to reach their full potential.

Our purpose-built learning environments are designed to foster curiosity, wonder and a lifelong love of learning. Guided by the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework and inspired by the philosophy of Being, Belonging and Becoming, we create enriching experiences that support children's growth, wellbeing and development.

As a growing organisation, we are committed to providing exceptional early education and care through passionate educators, innovative learning experiences and strong partnerships with families. We recognise families as children's first educators and work collaboratively to ensure every child receives the best possible start in life.

At Peak, our mission is simple: to help children, families and educators reach new heights.

About the Centre

Our purpose-built centre has been thoughtfully designed to create sophisticated learning sanctuaries where curiosity, exploration and discovery thrive.

Every learning environment has been intentionally curated to support children's natural development, encourage creativity and foster meaningful relationships. Inspired by the surrounding community and natural environment, our spaces provide opportunities for children to investigate, imagine, problem-solve and engage in rich play-based learning experiences.

From our nurturing nursery environments through to our Kindergarten program, each space is designed to support children's individual learning journeys while promoting confidence, independence and a strong sense of belonging.

Working at Peak means being part of an environment where high-quality resources, intentional design and contemporary educational practices come together to create exceptional outcomes for children.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Early Childhood Educator to join our Peak Childcare and Kindergarten team.

This role is ideal for someone who is enthusiastic about supporting children’s learning and development through play-based experiences, building strong relationships, and contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.

You will have a strong understanding of child-safe practices and a commitment to helping us build and maintain a strong culture of safety and wellbeing. Our organisation aligns with the 10 Queensland Child Safe Standards and is dedicated to ensuring every child feels safe, respected and protected.

We prioritise educator wellbeing and professional safety through our no educator-alone approach. Educators work alongside another team member regardless of ratios, promoting collaboration, support and accountability throughout the service.

Why Join Peak Childcare and Kindergarten?

We are committed to building a culture where educators feel valued, supported and empowered to grow professionally.

When you join Peak, you become part of a community that values collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement.
