Preschool Kaiako

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

We are searching for a new respectful, passionate team member in our preschool room, within a centre of 60. Our centre is based in the grounds of North Shore Hospital, a community within the DHB. 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 passionate about the philosophies of  Reggio Emilia and Emmi Pikler 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 Reggio philosophy
• Be able to have open dialogue and collaborate with your team
• Love to reflect, learn and collaborate – learning is a journey
• Have a passion for creating beautiful learning environments
• Be in NZ. We cannot support overseas applicants 

In return we offer:

• A culture of kindness
• A brilliant supportive management team
• Lots of support in your learning journey
• A truly collaborative team
• A centre whose mission is to empower and inspire everyone to learn together
• An environment that feels like a home-away-from-home 

We will continue to search until we find the right person, not just anyone will do.

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