Description
We are looking for an Early Childhood Teacher to lead a four year old program at one of our ten services. The program is offered to children for 15 hours, two days per week (8.30am-4.00pm) and supports learning and development of up to 26 children. The program is supported by two educators with a Diploma and a Certificate three in Education and Care.
GEKA Kindergartens implement a play based emergent curriculum that is built on current research from the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF 2009). The curriculum provides rich learning experiences developed through a strength/interest based approach. We are committed to supporting children in ways that help connect them to the natural world in order to build and promote awareness of environmental and sustainable practices.
Our flexible environments, incorporating indoor and outdoor programs simultaneously, are purposefully arranged to capture children’s interests, ideas and cater to individual needs. Our commitment to natural resources is evident in creating open ended play spaces for children to imagine, create and discover.
If this sounds like an environment you would thrive in, then we would love to hear from you! Please contact us for a position description, containing details about the skills and qualities we are searching for in an Early Childhood Teacher.
