Certified Infant Teacher

Our purpose-built early learning centre, licensed for 50 children, is nestled in the heart of Glen Eden. We have two dedicated learning spaces: a babies’ room and an over-two room that caters for toddlers and preschool-aged children. With inspiration from Reggio Emilia, our teachers have a passion for inspiring wonder, creativity, imagination and investigation

We are seeking a passionate, caring, and nurturing kaiako to join our babies’ room team. This opportunity would suit a fresh graduate or provisionally certificated teacher who is enthusiastic about working with infants and building meaningful, respectful, and responsive relationships with tamariki and whānau.

At our centre, we have a supportive and collaborative teaching team that is committed to continuous learning, reflection, and professional growth to provide the best possible learning experiences for our children.

As a kaiako in our babies’ room, you will help create a calm, welcoming, and responsive environment where infants feel safe, secure, loved, and supported to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.

You will:

• build warm, trusting, and respectful relationships with babies and their whānau
• practise respectful care as a core teaching value, recognising each child’s individual needs, cues, routines, and interests
• establish strong partnerships with whānau and support infants’ learning and development through meaningful, play-based experiences.

About you

We would love to hear from someone who:

• has a genuine passion for working with babies and understands the importance of nurturing, responsive care
• is caring, patient, attentive, and emotionally responsive to infants’ needs
• values respectful relationships with children, families, and colleagues and contributes to a positive team culture.

If you are a passionate kaiako looking for a supportive environment where you can grow your teaching practice and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our youngest learners, we would love to hear from you!

We offer:

• Full pay parity.
• Excellent ratios.
• Ongoing professional development.
• Support in the accredited employer work visa.
