Childcare Educators
Sparrow Early Learning Waterford Rise
5 day, part-time & casual positions
We are looking for experienced, imaginative & nurturing Early Childhood Educator superheroes who:
have a true passion for Early Childhood Education & Care
are driven by the love of inspiring curious young minds
have the imagination to transform a loose part into a fun and valuable learning tool
As a Studio Assistant Educator, there will never be a typical day. Through our play-based learning philosophy, we are constantly reminded of what a wondrous world we live in. You could go from singing Johnny works with One Hammer to a magician or gardener. Of course, you will still be responsible for all the compliance-based tasks like safety checks, communicating with families, and recording children’s progress, routines, and interests - all while creating a safe supportive space where children thrive.
We are a purpose-built facility in the heart of Drouin, Victoria, centrally located next to Drouin Primary School. Our studios are spacious and filled with natural light. Here, children have the opportunity to learn through play with stimulating resources and materials where they can explore, experiment, discover, and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways. Our team at Grant Street are passionate advocates for children, dedicated to providing a safe, joyful environment that nurtures relationships and each child’s holistic development as they move through their years at Sparrow.
What you’ll need:
Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (or ACECQA approved equivalent)
Experience in being a pirate finding lost treasure, making potions, and singing loudly with little people.
Strong knowledge & understanding of the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards
Current & Valid Working with Children Check
First Aid and CPR certificates including Asthma and Anaphylaxis training.
