Start your early childhood career with the Y – where you’ll grow, learn and belong

At Y Kinders, we believe every child has the right to access a quality early childhood education and care service that celebrates their individuality, community, and curiosity. Each of our services across Victoria reflects the unique community it belongs to — fostering a solid sense of belonging, connection, and identity.





As part of Victoria’s largest Early Years Management provider, we’re proud to support over 93 services and 700+ educators across the state who inspire, nurture, and empower young learners every day.

We’re now looking for Casual Certificate III Educators — or someone who’s currently studying toward their qualification — to join our vibrant team and help create inspiring learning experiences for young children.
