Preschool Kaiako

Are you someone who loves making a difference in the lives of tamariki? Do you bring warmth, energy and a genuine passion for early childhood education to everything you do? We would love to hear from you!

At Little Waves, we believe that great learning begins with strong, meaningful partnerships. We are passionate about creating a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where tamariki feel a true sense of belonging, are celebrated for who they are, and feel confident to explore, discover, learn and thrive.

We value strong partnerships with whānau, intentional teaching and creating meaningful learning opportunities that inspire curiosity, encourage independence and support every tamaiti to reach their potential.

What we're looking for

• A qualified and registered ECE kaiako, or someone currently working towards their qualification.
• A positive, caring and enthusiastic attitude, with a good sense of fun!
• Someone who values relationships, collaboration, teamwork and intentional teaching.
• A flexible team player who is happy to work a variety of shifts, including opening and closing.

What we can offer you

• Full-time employment.
• Full pay parity.
• Paid professional learning and development (PLD).
• Opportunities to grow, share ideas and develop your teaching practice.
• A chance to be part of our journey and contribute to the future of our centre.
• Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to be part of a team that genuinely cares about its tamariki, whānau and each other.

If you have a big heart for little people, a passion for learning and a desire to make every day meaningful, we'd love to welcome you to our Little Waves whānau!
