Montessori Training & Professional Development

For our permanent staff, subsidised Montessori training is available. This provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Montessori philosophy and develop your confidence in bringing Montessori principles into your daily practice.

Why Join Cubbyhouse Montessori?

At Cubbyhouse, we believe children learn best when they are given opportunities to explore, create, move, discover and develop independence.

We value educators who bring their own personality, passions and strengths to the children’s learning environment. If you love sport, can get excited about growing vegetables, enjoy getting creative with art or simply have a special skill you would love to share with children, we would love to hear about it.

If you are a Diploma qualified educator looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, learn more about Montessori and bring your own interests into the lives of children, we would love to meet you.

Please apply with your resume and a short cover letter telling us a little about yourself and what special interest or skill you would love to share with our children.
