Early Childhood Teacher - OAC Deanside
I may not know the word curriculum yet.
But I know when learning feels exciting.
I know when a story makes me wonder.
I know when a question makes me think.
I know when someone helps me feel ready for the next step.
At Only About Children Deanside that teacher could be you.
We're looking for a thoughtful, passionate and child-centred Early Childhood Teacher.
About our Deanside campus
At Deanside, my campus is being built for new friendships, new routines and new beginnings.
I arrive in the growing City of Melton, at a purpose-built campus on Best Drive with eight rooms and two big outdoor yards.
It is a place where a new community can grow from the start.
I can learn through the OAC Grow Curriculum in spaces made for nursery, toddler and kindergarten children.
I can be supported by educators, families and allied health services when I need them.
This is where I can feel protected, respected and inspired to explore, learn and belong.
You're The Difference
At OAC, they say You're The Difference.
I think that means you help me see how big my world can be.
Stories, blocks, songs, numbers, mud, paint and pretend play all become ways for me to learn.
