Admin Assistant | KU Mayfield Preschool, 12 hours per week

The Centre

AtKU Mayfield, our focus is on ensuring we provide a happy, safe and accepting environment, which reflects and enriches the lives and identities of children and families and responds to their changing interests and needs.

We specialise in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning through our commitment to play-based learning. We believe this is how young children learn naturally, as they are enabled to question and actively investigate the world around them. We have proudly been awarded as a ‘Little Scientist House’ through FROEBEL Australia, because of the quality of our educational program.
