Job description

Diploma Qualified Early Childhood Educator

Beanstalks Early Learning Centre – Haberfeld NSW

We’re a small, owner-operated early learning centre in Haberfield with 21 places in one mixed-age room for children aged 1 to 5. We’re looking for a Diploma-qualified educator to join our close-knit team and work directly alongside our Approved Provider/Owner (who works alongside you, full-time on the floor).

Our program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We follow the children’s interests, value their ideas, and see them as capable and curious learners. Being a mixed-age setting, older children help guide younger ones, and we get to know every child and family well. We are passionate about our project-based curriculum and create a variety of opportunities for schematic and sensory play.

Community is a big part of who we are. We head out on three excursions each week, to the local library, soccer and outdoor classroom days, so you’ll need to be confident, adaptable and able to think on your feet. We believe in all-weather play, providing rainsuits for the children so you need to be okay with putting a raincoat on and jumping in puddles alongside the children at the park on a rainy day!!

With a small team, we rely on each other. We’re looking for someone who is looking for a long-term position, shows initiative, communicates openly with colleagues, and builds strong, genuine relationships with children and families.

Requirements

• Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care
• Australian citizenship or permanent residency (we’re unable to consider visa sponsorship or temporary visa holders)
• Current NSW Working with Children Check, First Aid (HLTAID012) and Child Protection training
