Magic Garden is looking for 2 full-time teachers for our 1–3.5-year-old children. We need someone who is used to planning and documentation in ECE, so you are probably a qualified teacher, but we are open to unqualified/in-training for the right person. The ‘right person’ is a positive, creative, reliable and resilient team player. We are an accredited employer, but only open to those employees already in NZ so we can interview you in person.
We have high teacher/child ratios, offer extended pay parity rates, many qualified, long-standing teachers and hold the highest ERO rating. Magic Garden has a dedicated pedagogical leader mentoring our team, which is inspired by Reggio Emillia, RIE and the latest thinking.
Our centre has just gone through a large renovation so you will be working in a fresh, high-quality environment that supports teachers and children to thrive. We have a great reputation in our community. We offer 9-day fortnight rosters, allowing you a better work-life balance.
We believe that children, teachers and parents deserve aesthetically pleasing, interesting, and comfortable surroundings. Valuing beauty and respect for people, places and things determines the ‘ways of being’ we role model and foster with children, parents and whānau.
We use our collective wisdom to design the curriculum and offer resources we know will be attractive and hold the attention of this age group of children.
We operate a key teacher policy to provide consistency and quality of care. Our practises encourage children to explore and develop social and emotional competence within a respectful environment that recognises each child’s inner competency. We provide the basis of the relationships, care, comfort and values that set children up for success at Magic Garden and in later life, so the ‘right person’ is key.
