Where Curiosity Leads to Learning:

Located in the vibrant Harbord Diggers development, our Freshwater Centre offers both staff and students the opportunity to explore our coastal community to foster a sense of belonging and facilitate exciting educational experiences.

We now have an incredibly rewarding opportunity available for passionate Educators to join our service and contribute to the development of children under 2 years of age in our Nursery rooms!

How You’ll Make a Difference:

With over 80% of a child’s brain developing in the early years, we believe there is simply no other job quite as important as that of an Early Childhood Educator. At Explore & Develop, you will gift children with the opportunity to engage with beautiful environments and exciting experiences (both outdoors and within our own playscapes) that will nurture and support their individual developmental growth and well-being.

At the heart of this role lies the power to shape not only a child's foundation for learning but also their lifelong curiosity and self-confidence. Your presence in the nursery room will resonate in the laughter that fills the air, the milestones celebrated, and the genuine bonds formed with both the children and their families. As an Early Childhood Educator at Explore & Develop, you will be the guiding star illuminating the path of these young adventurers, ensuring their voyage into the world is one of wonder, growth, and boundless potential.

What We Need From You:

To be considered for this role, you’ll need to hold or currently be studying a Certificate III or Diploma of Early Childhood Education. You’ll ideally also have prior demonstrated experience in a similar role that saw you working with young children under 2 years of age.

Critical to your continued success in this role will be your genuine passion for working with young children. Your ability to foster a sense of belonging, curiosity, and trust will create the foundation upon which each child's journey of discovery is built, enabling them to confidently navigate the world around them while building essential skills that will shape their future successes.

A Rewarding Role - In More Ways Than One:

As the next Early Childhood Educator in our Nursery Room, you will have the unique opportunity to ensure every single one of our little learners is empowered to explore, learn, and flourish in an environment that embraces their unique strengths and nurtures their innate curiosity.

You’ll also enjoy an above-award hourly rate of circa $26-$32 per hour + superannuation, along with a range of fantastic benefits from Explore & Develop, including:

• Discounted childcare fees for your little ones
• Paid trial day to meet the team and see our philosophy in action!
  
• A healthy work/life balance, with part-time hours and flexible working arrangements available, including the ability to spread your hours across days to suit your schedule
• Discounted gym membership + free onsite parking + retail discounts
• Exceptional working ratios with extra Educators in every room!
• Genuine opportunities for career growth, professional development, and additional training
• The opportunity to work in a Centre that is owned and operated by an experienced Early Childhood Educator and mum who supports staff and embraces a collaborative approach to Early Childhood Education
