Lead Educator - Best Workplace CULTURE & EXCEEDING early learning centre
At Grace Village Early Learning, we don't operate like a typical childcare service. We are striving for excellence in early childhood education, and we are seeking a select few educators and leaders who want more than a role. We are inviting people who are ready to make a career-defining decision: to step into a space where excellence is expected, growth is supported and purpose is clear. If you are looking for just a job, this may not be the place for you. But if you are ready to invest in a career that will shape your future and positively influence the lives of children for generations, you may have found your village.
Who We Are

Families are part of the journey through our signature Third Place offering - a daily space of pause, connection and care.
We are uncompromising in our standards.
We are deeply committed to our craft.
We are relentless in our pursuit of something better - for children, families and our profession. Child Safety Is Not Negotiable At Grace Village Early Learning, every child has the right to be safe and feel safe. We are unwavering in our commitment to the safety, wellbeing, rights and best interests of every child in our care. The safety, rights and best interests of children are the paramount consideration in every decision and action we make. Children come first always.

Personal devices capable of taking, storing or transferring images or videos are not permitted while working directly with children, except where expressly authorised under service procedure. We recruit carefully.
