Join Our Teaching Whānau at Lollipops Waiwhetu

Lollipops Waiwhetu is a modern, purpose‑built centre designed to spark creativity, celebrate culture, and support exceptional teaching practice. With fantastic facilities, easy access to cafés, parks, public transport, and plenty of free parking, our centre is a place where both kaiako and tamariki feel at home. We offer subsidised childcare for your own tamariki and more than full pay parity, because we believe in valuing the people who make our centre thrive.

Rooted in manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and ako, our environment is warm, inclusive, and joyfully child‑led. Our Reggio‑inspired spaces—indoors and out—invite curiosity, exploration, and meaningful learning every day. At the heart of it all is our close‑knit team: supportive, collaborative, full of laughter, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Our Centre Manager leads with empathy and integrity, ensuring our waka moves forward together.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Certificated Kaiako who brings enthusiasm, flexibility, and a love for working with tamariki of all ages—from our tiniest infants to our confident preschoolers. Whether you’re early in your teaching journey or ready for a fresh challenge, you’ll find a place here to grow, contribute, and shine.

What We Offer
• A fun, supportive team that celebrates each other’s strengths
• A well‑resourced centre that fuels imagination and high‑quality teaching
• Opportunities to connect with the wider Evolve Education network
• Generous non‑contact time for planning, documentation, and reflection
• A leadership team committed to your growth, wellbeing, and professional success

What You Bring
• A New Zealand ECE qualification and current Teaching Registration
• A commitment to high‑quality education and ongoing learning
• A nurturing, positive approach to teaching and building relationships
