Early Childhood Teacher | Kinder Room | Fulltime | Reservoir

Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centre & Preschool is excited to be opening our brand-new, purpose-built 88-place centre in Reservoir, and we're looking for a passionate Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) to join our founding team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a new service from the beginning and help establish a strong educational culture, build meaningful relationships with families and create an environment where children and educators thrive.

Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centres & Preschools are family-owned and operated services across NSW and VIC. Our owners are two sisters, both with young children, who share a genuine passion for quality childcare and early education.

Having experienced childcare themselves as parents, they understand what it means to drop your child off each morning with confidence, knowing they are safe, supported and cared for in a nurturing environment. This is the ideal that drives Whiz Kidz every day.

We believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, confident and inspired to learn. Through meaningful relationships, play-based learning and engaging environments, we support children to become capable, confident and involved learners.

Our philosophy is centred around creating a genuine "home away from home" for children, families and educators.

Our purpose-built centre has been thoughtfully designed to provide an inspiring environment for children and educators, including:

• Spacious, light-filled learning environments

• Beautiful outdoor play spaces designed to encourage exploration

• High-quality educational resources

• An in-house chef preparing fresh, nutritious meals daily

• Modern technology to support communication with families

• Well-resourced spaces where educators are supported to deliver high-quality programs

As an Early Childhood Teacher, you will play an important role in developing and delivering a high-quality educational program that supports children's learning, development and wellbeing.

You will:

• Develop and implement engaging, play-based learning programs aligned with the EYLF

• Observe, assess and document children's learning and development

• Use children's interests, strengths and individual needs to inform curriculum planning

• Create meaningful learning experiences that support development and school readiness

• Build strong, respectful relationships with children and families

• Create an inclusive, engaging and welcoming learning environment

• Work collaboratively with educators to achieve positive outcomes for children

• Support and mentor educators within your room

• Ensure programming and documentation meet relevant regulatory and quality requirements

This is a full-time, 38-hour-per-week position, Monday to Friday, with shifts rostered across our operating hours of 6:30am–6:30pm.

At Whiz Kidz, we believe great educators deserve great support. We offer:

• Paid professional development and ongoing training

• Supportive leaders who genuinely mentor and develop their teams

• Well-resourced classrooms and modern facilities

• A positive and collaborative team culture

• A family-owned company where educators are recognised and valued

• The opportunity to help shape the culture and educational program of a brand-new service

We're looking for an ECT who is passionate about early childhood education and committed to creating meaningful learning experiences for children.

You will ideally have:

• A Bachelor of Early Childhood Education or equivalent ACECQA-approved qualification

• Current VIT registration and Working with Children Check

• Current First Aid, CPR, Asthma and Anaphylaxis certificates and National Foundations Child Safety Training certificate

• Sound knowledge of the EYLF, NQS and Victorian Early Childhood Education and Care Regulations

• Strong understanding of children's development, learning and school readiness

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• A positive, reliable and collaborative approach

• A genuine passion for supporting children to learn, grow and thrive

If you're looking for an opportunity to join a new service where your ideas, experience and contribution can help shape the culture from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
