We're Hiring aWOW EDUCATOR for Our Extraordinary Kindergarten
Part-time Sessional Kindergarten
This is not your typical job ad.
We're not looking for someone who just works with children.
We're looking for someone who sees children.
Who cheers for them.
Who gets misty-eyed over a scribble that turned into a rainbow.
Someone who knows, like really knows, that relationships come first and everything else flows from there.
If the name Rita Pierson makes your heart swell, if you've ever watched her TED Talk and said, "Yes! That's me!", we want to meet you.
We're a vibrant, inclusive, community-run kindergarten located in Seaford, VIC.
We are filled with educators who bring their whole selves to work.
Our team isn't just qualified, they're uniquely qualified.
Think:
Primary teachers
Play therapists
Community leaders
Big-hearted goofballs who dance to Lenny Pearce versions of nursery rhymes like no one's watching
We don't just "deliver a program", we live and breathe early childhood education that is innovative, trauma-informed, relationship-based, and play-rich.
Who Are You?
Cry (in a valuable way) when a child draws their first family portrait
Know laughter is medicine, especially when it comes to laughing at ourselves
Aren't afraid to sing, dance, play, and be your authentic self
See behaviour as communication




Are obsessed with learning and always evolving your practice
Know that child safety and wellbeing aren't just buzzwords, they're sacred
Are the kind of grown-up a child can trust, adore, and run to with arms wide open
Can become attuned to the children and people you work with, like really attuned, know what they're thinking from an eyebrow movement
Embraces community collaboration and knows that families form part of the magic of our kindergarten
Can bring something magical and unique to our team.
What's your superpower?
