Reliever (Certificated) Oamaru

• Handy to shops, cafes, schools, gym and other amenities.
• Coastal location on the beautiful South Island.
• Casual relieving opportunity – great work-life balance.

Here at Little Wonders Oamaru, we’re passionate about meeting the childcare needs of busy families. We have great facilities, a well-considered curriculum, and a team of qualified and experienced teachers who love what they do.

We believe our environment, influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, empowers our ākonga to feel protected, calm, safe and secure while fostering a platform for movement, fun, curiosity, discovery, risk taking, and growth. We recognize the value of free play as ‘child’s work’ to embed the knowledge and skills for life and inspire a life-long love of learning. We aspire to enhance the mana of every child, and their sense of themselves as an independent, competent, capable learner & communicator. 

We encourage continuous growth and ongoing learning for our kaimahi, tamariki and whanau through the sharing of knowledge, stories, and wisdom, so they can learn sustainable practices and engage respectfully with Papatūānuku & the wider world. We support participation in an inclusive, welcoming environment where diversity, individuality, respect & resilience are empowered and reflected in our practice and learning community.

We offer special cultural events, family gatherings and work closely with whānau. We would love to welcome someone with a passion for young children’s learning and the ability to plan exciting and engaging activities, who is resilient, has an open to learning mindset and fun, to work alongside a strong, long-standing team.
