Job Description

Educational Leader - OAC Hampton When my educators keep wondering, I keep discovering. They notice what I enjoy. They follow my questions. They make space for my culture, my ideas, my voice and my way of learning. They see I am not just playing. I am thinking, testing, imagining, moving, feeling and growing. At Only About Children Hampton, you can help guide that kind of practice. We're looking for a reflective, inspiring and practice-focused Educational Leader.

About our Hampton campus n

At Hampton, my day feels small, homely and close to the Bayside community. I arrive on Bluff Road, near Hampton Street, reserves, buses and local clubs. The campus feels personal, welcoming and calm. I learn in three indoor rooms and play outside under the big oak tree, in the natural yard, on the bike track, near the vegetable garden and outdoor dining area. I can make friends, try new foods, practise routines and feel safe with familiar grown-ups. This is where my day feels steady, warm and connected.
