People are talking about Kiddywinkles childcare — and it’s all good. Now’s your chance to become part of something special.

“My daughter moved from another daycare facility to Kiddywinkles and I have never been to such an amazing, caring childcare centre. You feel like family when you walk in.”

Working with babies is one of the most rewarding professions you could ever choose. The innocence in a child’s face, the cackle of their laughter, their inquisitive minds — moments you’ll never forget. If you have experience caring for our youngest tamariki, this opportunity is for you.

We know teaching is not just “work” — it’s a passion. And we’re here to help you excel. At Kiddywinkles, we live by the phrase “he waka eke noa” — We are all in this together — because we believe this journey is not a solo one.

What you’ll bring:

• A recognised early childhood teaching qualification (ECE Teacher Registration)
• Experience, or a strong interest, in working with under 2s (infants / toddlers)
• A nurturing, relational approach and strong communication skills
• Ability to plan, assess and reflect in line with Te Whāriki and our centre philosophy
• A collaborative mindset — you thrive in team environments

What you’ll get:

• A warm, family-feel centre where you’ll be valued
• Ongoing professional development and support
• A centre culture steeped in care, connection and excellence
• The joy of truly making a difference in the lives of our littlest learners

If you are a qualified teacher with heart and commitment, contact me now — I’d love to hear your story and explore what we can build together.
