Preschool Kaiako

Come grow with us at Little Farm preschool and nursery!

We’re looking for a passionate kaiako to join our Little Farm whānau!

Due to one of our fabulous kaiako heading off on maternity leave, we have an exciting opportunity for someone who loves intentional teaching, meaningful relationships and a little adventure!

At Little Farm, we offer something a little different. We are a unique early learning service where connections with nature, animals and our local community are at the heart of what we do.

What makes Little Farm special?

• Nature and animals: Opportunities for tamariki to explore, discover and learn through real-life experiences.
• 4 age-appropriate classrooms: Supporting meaningful learning and development at every stage.
• Community connections: Extending learning beyond our gates through excursions to the gym, local kura, art galleries and places of cultural significance.
• Support and growth: An involved head kaiako and centre manager who provide practical teaching support, mentoring and supportive Professional Growth Cycles (PGC).

Who we're looking for

Someone who:

• is passionate about intentional teaching and meaningful learning
• builds genuine, learner-focused partnerships with whānau
• values responsive relationships and a strong sense of belonging
• loves extending learning through nature, play and community experiences
• is reflective, positive and enjoys working collaboratively as part of a team.

Why Little Farm?

We believe great teaching happens when kaiako feel valued, supported and empowered. Our hands-on leadership team is committed to providing practical support and encouragement, allowing teachers to focus on what matters most: positive outcomes for our tamariki.

If you're passionate about early learning and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares about tamariki, whānau and each other, we'd love to hear from you!

Come be part of something special!
