We’re a local (Not-For-Profit) Early Learning Centre located on Claughton Way, Glen Iris (Bunbury, Perth, WA). We’re all about inspiring and nurturing children to become independent little butterflies. And guess what? You’re a big part of how we make this happen.

You could be our new Early Childhood Teacher ready to release your early years education passion. But let’s face it, you work to live! Why join The Y? Check out your awesome perks below.

Your awesome perks

• $89,154 - $112,846.50 + 12% Super per annum (part-time pro-rata)

You’ll be encouraging them to grow socially, emotionally while instilling a love for learning, whilst developing programs that meet the needs and reflect the interest of your special individuals. You’ll promote our ‘School ReadY’ program to your team of educators, manage compliance, and truly engage with our wonderful children and families. At the end of your shift, you’ll walk out the door (still smiling) knowing the children are continuing to develop in body, mind, and spirit.
