Dedicated Educational Leader Brand - new early learning service Opening early 2027

A new beginning - A shared vision - An opportunity to make a difference.

Are you an Educational Leader who believes great early childhood education begins with meaningful relationships, inspired educators and a genuine passion for children's learning?

At Kurrajong Kids Early Learning, we're creating something special, and we'd love you to be part of it

We're a proudly locally owned and operated early learning service, preparing to open our doors in Leneva in early 2027.

We're not part of a large corporate childcare chain. We're building something of our own, right here in our community, where children thrive, families belong and educators feel valued, supported and inspired.

We're now looking for a passionate Educational Leader to join our foundation team and help bring our vision to life.

The Kurrajong Promise

Every child is known, every family is valued, every day matters.

Our Promise is at the heart of everything we do. It reflects our commitment to creating a place where children feel safe and connected, families feel welcomed and educators are supported to grow and thrive.

It's more than words on a page. It's something we bring to life through our relationships, everyday interactions and the way we support one another.

As part of our team, you'll play an important role in bringing the Kurrajong Promise to life.

Your opportunity to make a difference

This isn't simply another Educational Leader position. It's an chance to join us from the beginning, share your knowledge and help shape the educational practices and culture of our new service.





As our dedicated Educational Leader, you'll focus on mentoring educators, strengthening educational practice and supporting continuous improvement across Kurrajong Kids.

Working closely with our Centre Manager and educators, you'll help bring our philosophy and pedagogical approach to life.

We believe great leadership is both inspiring and hands-on. You'll be present in our learning environments, modelling best practice, supporting educators and lending a hand with daily operations, ratios and breaks when needed.

Because at Kurrajong Kids, leadership isn't about sitting behind a desk. It's about being part of the team.

- Inspire, mentor and guide educators to deliver meaningful, high-quality educational programs.

- Champion children's rights, safety and wellbeing in all aspects of educational practice.
