Lollipops New Plymouth is a centre filled with aroha, wairua, and genuine whanaungatanga. Even though we have two rooms, we operate as one tight‑knit whānau — supporting each other, communicating openly, and celebrating everyone’s unique mana. As our centre continues to grow, we’re looking for a Teacher in Training or a passionate, non-certificated kaiako who brings positivity, curiosity, and a love for tamariki‑led learning.
Te Reo Māori is part of our everyday rhythm, and we welcome someone who is confident, learning, or simply passionate about weaving reo and tikanga into daily practice. We embrace all cultures and languages — your whakapapa, identity, and passions are welcomed here.
Our under‑2s space is calm and nurturing, with its own outdoor area and sleep room where pēpi can explore at their own pace. Our 2–6s room is lively and full of ako — with a large outdoor area, sandpit, climbing equipment, wai play, gardening, and an open‑plan indoor environment designed for creativity and discovery. We head out regularly for hīkoi, community visits, and special trips to the hospital ward where our tamariki gift their beautiful paintings — building connections with our wider hapori.
If you’re well underway in your ECE studies and bringing heart, flexibility (especially for opens and closes), and genuine commitment to our tamariki and whānau — we’d love to welcome you into our team.
- 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
- A warm, welcoming whānau of kaiako.
- A well-resourced centre full of creative opportunities.
- Supportive leadership who will grow and guide you.
- Half‑day paid birthday leave.
- Subsidised childcare for your own tamariki.
- Opportunity to join the Evolve network of ECE professionals.
What we're looking for in you:
- A nurturing, passionate kaiako committed to great outcomes for tamariki.
- Flexibility with opens and closes.
- A strong team player who values kotahitanga and kōrero tika.
- Someone who loves play-based, child-led, holistic learning.
- Someone who is well underway in their ECE studies and eager to grow in our supportive team.
Our mahi thrives on kotahitanga and genuine commitment. If you bring steady kaha, good energy, and true aroha for tamariki and kaiako, you’ll fit right in.
