ECE Teacher

We have a vacancy for a new ECE teacher to join our amazing team.

Kaipara Kids Early Learning Centre is a beautiful homely ECE centre in the heart of Maungaturoto, Kaipara.

We are very active in our small community and are well supported by local businesses and schools. Our tamariki enjoy trips out in the local community, to cafes, local gardens and our local Maungaturoto Primary School, where we offer regular visits providing consistent and well-supported transitions to school.

As an established enviroschool we enjoy growing our own vegetables, and our current projects for 2026 are our "all about water" rainwater tank project funded by northland regional council, and creating edible gardens as part of the Maungaturoto Edible Village Project.

We are ideally seeking an experienced full-time teacher to join our over 2's team, and the ideal applicant will be passionate about nature, loose parts and natural resources, outings and excursions, a sense of community and have a love for learning and nurturing a calm and unhurried culture.
