Morrinsville Early Learning Centre Waikato

ECE teacher

We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time kaiako to join our team.

About us: 

We are a mixed-aged centre in the heart of Morrinsville township.

Our centre philosophy is based on our whānau care system. This is where a teacher builds a special connection with a child and their family to support them through their day and overall early childhood journey.

Our centre practice is embedded in learning through play. We have an unstructured day to allow our children to be engaged in deep learning through their own play choices. Together with whānau, children will be supported to continue following their own daily rhythms like they do at home.

Our kindergarten is operated by Central Kids Early Education, who manage 57 other kindergartens and early learning centres throughout the central North Island.

• A commitment to putting children at the heart to all that we do – Ko ngā tamariki te pūtake
