Teacher - Numurkah
Goodstart is Australia's largest early learning provider. As a not-for-profit social enterprise, we exist purely to improve the lives of Australia's children and their families. Our people are our foundation, together we are working to ensure children have the learning, development and wellbeing outcomes they need for school and life.
We're looking for an enthusiastic Teacher to develop programs and practices that are responsive to our children's needs and aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standard.
You will be part of our supportive culture and have access to a qualified mentor to support your professional development and growth.
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Numurkah is a 60 place centre located in a rural setting, close to schools and the main street shopping centre.
Catering for children from six weeks to six years of age, our team of local, friendly staff possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience which they use to deliver a fun, engaging, educational program to our children.
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years' Learning Framework and our rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all geared with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child's individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.
This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children's developments, milestones and achievements.
