Are you looking to be valued? Want to be part of something special?

We are searching for a new respectful, passionate infant & toddler kaiako at our homely space.

We strive to enact our philosophy, which is born from relationships – equal partnerships between children, caregivers, whānau, community, and the environment. These relationships are established within a culture of kindness, through caregiving moments, rituals, our daily interactions and mutual respect. 

We are a privately owned centre whose centre owner is very much involved and has many years of experience. We are a tight knit community who are passionate about the philosophies of Emmi Pikler and Reggio Emilia and have a hunger for continued learning.

The successful candidate will:

  • Role model our values within their practice
  • Be authentic, respectful and joyful
  • Have some working knowledge of the Pikler philosophy
  • Be able to have open dialogue and collaborate with your team
  • Have a high level of verbal communication
  • Love to reflect, learn and collaborate – learning is a journey.

The right applicant must find delight in reflection, work collaboratively, value real connection, share our values and have a hunger for learning.

In return we offer:

  • A culture of kindness
  • A brilliant supportive management team
  • Lots of support into and through your learning journey, we love and support growth
  • A centre whose mission is to empower and inspire everyone to learn together
  • A passionate team of qualified teachers – we aim for 100% qualified.

We will continue to search until we find the right person, not just anyone will do. We are happy to chat about our role to see if it is right for you.

Our new team member must currently reside in NZ.
