Kaiako (Certificated) AE Greenmeadows

Active Explorers Greenmeadows are looking for a qualified and registered Early Childhood Kaiako to join our thriving 2-3 year olds and become part of our welcoming centre whānau.

Our Kauri Room are active explorers, eager to discover the world around them through play, movement, creativity, and meaningful relationships. We provide a nurturing and engaging environment where children are encouraged to build independence, develop social skills, and follow their natural curiosity in a safe and supportive setting.

With Anderson Park just across the road, our tamariki enjoy regular opportunities to connect with nature, explore their local community, and extend their learning beyond the centre gates.

Why You'll Love Being Here

• A vibrant and engaging learning environment for our 2-3 year olds
• Strong, supportive leadership across the centre
• Paid professional development and First Aid certification
• Discounted childcare for your own tamariki

Whānau partnerships are central to our philosophy. We value strong relationships with families and welcome Kaiako who are committed to culturally responsive practice and honouring the aspirations of tamariki and their whānau. Knowledge of, or an interest in learning about, the local pūrākau of Ngāti Kahungunu is highly valued.

Our offer to you:

• A warm, supportive team to learn and grow alongside
• Ongoing mentoring from centre leadership and our wider cluster
• Competitive salary and a balanced lifestyle
• Opportunities to connect with the wider Evolve Education network
