Permanent Position | Monday–Friday
Are You a Teacher Who Sees the Individual Child?

At Bug-A-Lugs, we believe great teaching is about more than delivering an educational program. It's about building meaningful connections, understanding individual needs and creating an environment where every child feels protected, valued and excited to learn.

We're looking for a passionate, experienced and motivated Early Childhood Teacher to lead our integrated three- and four-year-old kindergarten program in Kyneton.

About the Role

You'll take responsibility for leading our kindergarten program, working alongside a supportive team of educators to provide meaningful, inclusive and engaging learning experiences.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Plan, implement and evaluate a high-quality, play-based kindergarten program aligned with the VEYLDF and EYLF.
- Lead the kindergarten room with confidence, initiative and strong organisational skills.
- Guide, support and collaborate with educators, ensuring clear communication, shared responsibilities and consistent practices.
- Observe and document children's learning, development and individual progress.
- Build strong relationships with children and families.
- Support inclusion, children's wellbeing and individual learning needs.
- Contribute to reflective practice, continuous improvement and maintaining high standards of child safety and education.

What We're Looking For





- An ACECQA approved Early Childhood Teaching qualification and appropriate current VIT registration.
- Experience delivering a kindergarten educational program.
- Sound knowledge of the VEYLDF, EYLF and National Quality Framework.
- Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills.
- Someone who understands that every child is different and one approach doesn't suit everyone.
- A teacher who brings creativity, warmth, enthusiasm and genuine passion to everyday learning.
- Someone who takes initiative, follows through on responsibilities and works collaboratively with their team.
- A reliable, adaptable professional who genuinely wants to make a difference.

Why Join Bug-A-Lugs?

We're a family-owned service that values strong relationships, individuality, inclusion and high-quality early childhood education.

We offer:

- Above-award remuneration.
- Permanent Monday–Friday employment.
- Dedicated planning and programming time.
- A welcoming, established team.
- Opportunities to take ownership of the environment and shape our kindergarten program.
- A workplace where you're valued and supported.

We're not looking for someone to simply fill a position. We're looking for a teacher who wants to take pride in their program, inspire their team and become an important part of our children's learning journey.
