Job description

Are you a caring, creative educator who believes every child deserves to be seen, supported & celebrated? At Kindy Place Early Learning, we’re seeking a Lead Educator for our Toddler Room who wants to make a meaningful difference in a warm, nurturing setting.

Kindy Place was lovingly founded by a local mother of three who dreamed of creating the kind of space she’d be proud to send her own children to. That spirit still runs through every corner of our centre. Our handpicked educators — many of whom are mothers or even grandmothers — bring genuine care, warmth, and wisdom to each day.
Here, children are not just taught — they are truly known, supported, and celebrated as they grow, play, and belong.

Our environment matters. It’s a calm, home-like space where creativity blooms and nature adds a gentle backdrop. Our classrooms are beautifully resourced so you’ll always have what you need to inspire wonder and play.
