Job description

We are a family-owned centre looking for a passionate full-time Trainee Assistant Educator who is excited to be part of a warm, supportive team and help create a high-quality learning environment where children can thrive.

This is a rare opportunity to earn an income while you learn on the job and be part of a new, beautiful, family-owned centre from the very beginning of its next chapter. Our centre is licensed for 75–80 children and has been thoughtfully designed to create a calm, inspiring and high-quality environment where children can learn through play, exploration and meaningful relationships.

A key feature of our centre is our strong focus on natural environments and nature-based learning. Our outdoor spaces include a large natural playground, a dedicated loose parts play yard, chickens and guinea pigs, and a small produce garden where children can engage with experiences such as growing lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and other seasonal produce. We are looking for trainees who genuinely value the role of the natural environment in children’s learning and who want to be part of rich, play-based educational experiences grounded in curiosity, creativity and connection to the natural world.

We are a family-owned and operated centre, not a large corporate group. We value relationships and genuine support. This is an exciting opportunity for the right people to help shape the culture of a centre known for warmth, professionalism and high-quality practice.

What we offer

• Earn an income while you complete your studies in Early Childhood Education

• Supportive owners and management who are approachable and hands-on

• Flexible and collaborative working environment

• Paid professional development and ongoing training

• Blue Card and First Aid costs covered

• A beautifully designed environment with strong investment in resources and presentation

• The opportunity to work within a team with a shared commitment to quality education and care

• A centre philosophy that values children, relationships, play, and natural environments

About you

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• A passion for high-quality early childhood education and care

• An interest in play-based learning and the value of natural environments in children’s learning

• A warm, caring and team-oriented approach

• Good communication and relationship-building skills

• A willingness to learn, contribute and grow within a supportive team

Why join Little School?

This is more than an educator role. It is an opportunity to be part of a centre with a clear vision: a place where children experience meaningful play, beautiful natural environments, nurturing relationships and high-quality education from the very beginning.

If you are an educator who believes children learn best through play, exploration and connection with the natural world, we would love to hear from you.
