Lane Cove | Traineeship - Early Childhood Educator

At Farran Street, we believe great Early Childhood Education starts with relationships.

For over 30 years, our purpose has been “Introducing Children to Themselves” — creating a place where children are truly known, Educators have the opportunity to make a difference, and everyone is encouraged to learn and grow.

As a Trainee Educator, you’ll start your career as part of a small, close-knit team where you’ll be supported to become a great Educator from day one.
