• More than full pay parity!

Learning Adventures Maraenui is a purpose-built early childhood centre with a spacious, beautiful and intentional environment.  We use a play-based, holistic and nurturing approach to create an inclusive programme for all Tamariki. Due to one of our beloved kaiako moving to Auckland to be closer to whanau, we are looking for a strong and passionate, certificated kaiako, to come on board and join us on our journey as a team.

At Learning Adventures te ao māori and te reo māori is woven through everything we do, whanaungatanga underpins our mahi. Our love of our hapori is embedded in our local curriculum.  We believe that all tamariki are unique and deserve all the aroha and support we can give them. We are looking for someone who is familiar with or shows willingness to learn about the local pūrākau (stories) of Ngāti Kahungunu.

• A well-resourced centre to cater to your imagination and teaching.
• Support from centre management and our wider roopu of 5 diverse centres across Hawke's Bay, for your professional growth.
• More than full pay parity and a well-balanced lifestyle.
• Opportunity to join the Evolve network of ECE professionals.
• The opportunity to be involved with the KidsCan kai programme.
• Sufficient non-contact hours to ensure effective programme planning.

• You have a gentle, patient, and empathetic approach to guiding learners – fostering a supportive learning environment.
• You are passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion.
• Previous experience with learners who have a range of learning and communication needs.
