The Park Early Learning Centre Wellington

Qualified early childhood teacher

Are you passionate about the early years and fostering a love for learning in tamariki? Join our exceptional team at The Park ELC.

The Park is a beautifully designed, purpose-built early learning centre located on the old Athletic Park rugby ground in Newtown. We are inspired by diverse educational philosophies, including RIE, Reggio, and Montessori. Our unique approach focuses on the core values of respect, aroha and collaboration, creating an inclusive environment where all children and kaiako thrive.

We have an exciting opportunity for a toddler teacher to join our Explorers team! In our Explorers area, we support children aged 2 to 3 years old in their individual journey of learning and discovery. In each room, we have 25 tamariki with 4 kaiako + a support teacher.

We focus on encouraging tamariki to develop their independence, as they begin to take responsibility for themselves, their belongings and their decisions and choices.

At The Park ELC, we proudly offer our kaiako:

• Full Pay Parity (FPP)
• Paid annual registration and first aid certification
• Reduced childcare fees (50% discount)
• Free on-site parking
• Regular and relevant professional development opportunities
• Purpose-built working environments with high-quality resources
• A supportive management team
• Access to Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services for mental health and wellbeing support
• Fantastic staff perks initiatives, including: 
  • Birthday leave (a paid day off for your birthday)
  • Annual Wellness Allowance: $500 subsidy towards health and well-being expenses per year
  • Team social events.
