Job description

About the role

Mokara is looking for a warm, organised Pre-school Manager to lead the growth and quality of our pre-school and early-childhood movement programme. This is a leadership role for someone who loves early-years teaching and believes in learning through movement and play.

You'll shape the structure and quality of the programme: organising camps and events, strengthening lesson planning, and developing the teaching team through classroom-based training and clear progression pathways. You don't need to be a gymnastics coach; what matters is strong early-childhood knowledge and a genuine love of being active, with a background in dance, performing arts or sports.

Key responsibilities

• Work closely with programme leadership to strengthen the structure, consistency and quality of the pre-school programme

• Assist in the creation, refinement and implementation of lesson plans for pre-school classes across age groups and levels

• Help maintain clear standards for class objectives, teacher expectations, child progressions and teaching quality, grounded in early-childhood development principles

• Create, organise and manage pre-school camps, holiday programmes, special events and showcases in collaboration with programme leadership

• Ensure events are well-structured, well-staffed, engaging and age-appropriate, aligned with Mokara's standards, with warm, clear communication to parents throughout

• Support operational planning for camps and events — scheduling, staffing support, logistics and programme flow

• Lead classroom-based training for new teaching staff, including those new to a movement-based pre-school setting

• Create a structured, documented set of training materials that any experienced early-childhood educator can use to train new staff

• Provide ongoing training and education for teachers seeking to progress to higher levels or new age groups

• Contribute to a culture of professional growth — improving teachers' communication, classroom management and child engagement

About you

• A degree in Early Childhood or Primary Education

• Proven experience teaching or working in a pre-school / early-childhood setting, with strong knowledge of early-childhood development

• A background in movement — dance, performing arts or sports — and a genuine enjoyment of being active

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities across the pre-school programme

• Ability to communicate professionally in English, both spoken and written

• CPR / First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain

• Genuine enjoyment of working with young children, and active and enthusiastic about movement — bringing energy and warmth to the classroom

• Strong attention to detail in lesson quality, safety standards and class structure

• Team-first mindset: collaborative, coachable, professional and ego-free
