ChildCare Educator (Cert III) | KU Mayfield Preschool

The Service

At KU Mayfield, our focus is on ensuring we provide a happy, safe and accepting environment, which reflects and enriches the lives and identities of children and families and responds to their changing interests and needs.

We specialise in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning through our commitment to play-based learning. We believe this is how young children learn naturally, as they are enabled to question and actively investigate the world around them. We have proudly been awarded as a ‘Little Scientist House’ through FROEBEL Australia, because of the quality of our educational program.

The Role: 

We are looking for a Certificate III qualified educator to join the team working Monday-Friday, 6 hours per day on a permanent basis. We are looking for someone who values partnering with children and families, is a team player, takes initiative and wants to join a passionate, capable and dedicated team.
