Teach with heart, fun and be appreciated, full pay parity

Perhaps you entered early childhood teaching because it was a calling deep within. You experience joy when you are with children and you delight in their simple pleasures and curiosity. You have a sense of fun and play, you enjoy adventures with children. Maybe you have a special talent or interest - perhaps you play the guitar, breed native geckos, love vegetable gardening or art or woodwork. Perhaps you've found yourself wondering if ECE can be better than what you are currently experiencing as a teacher and you really want to make a difference, not only in your own life and classroom but to the early childhood sector as a whole.

Kakapo Creek Children's Garden is an attachment rich early childhood centre in the heart of Mairangi Bay on Auckland's North Shore. We offer teachers as consistent caregivers throughout a child's time at Kakapo Creek resulting in stronger teacher-child-whanau relationships and more job satisfaction too

We are innovative, base our practice on evidence-based research, and are committed to learning through nature, play and relationships. Our owners are intricately involved and passionate about people - teachers and children.

Our philosophy is not from 100-year-old theorists but builds on their shoulders using modern neuroscience and attachment theories. Teachers who join our team are dedicated to professional development to learn our attachment approach.

We offer an abundantly resourced state of the art environment, FULL pay parity, paid first aid and teacher registration, annual resource allowance, biscuits, fruit and a coffee machine in our beautiful staff room, 2 hours non-contact per week and more for the right teachers.

Applicants should be dedicated to their vocation, ECE qualified, registered, and able to work full-time in NZ. If this sounds like you please apply in confidence to Joy Garcia.
