Small questions. Big thinking.

Early Childhood Teacher | Wonderschool Chifley, NSW

Full-time starting January 2027

“What do you think might happen?”

One thoughtful question can open a world of learning.

At Wonderschool Chifley, we see children as capable thinkers, researchers and active participants in their learning. We’re looking for an Early Childhood Teacher who listens closely, takes children’s ideas seriously and knows how to extend their thinking. Our team has worked together for up to 20 years in a centre that provides care for 36 children (10 preschoolers per day).

- Turn children’s questions into rich investigations through play.

- Create environments that invite discovery, experimentation and possibility.

- Make learning visible through thoughtful documentation and reflection.

- Build respectful relationships with children, families and colleagues.

Grounded in wonder, integrity, respect and empowerment, your teaching will help children explore their ideas, challenge their theories and discover what’s possible.
