A Small Centre Making a Big Difference:

Welcome to
KinderMarlee Early Childhood Centre,
an innovative, creative and inclusive centre delivering rich learning and development programs. We believe in the power of early childhood education to shape the lives of our little ones.

Venture beyond the sands of the Sunshine Coast and you will discover our leafy backyard: the lush, green Hinterland. Our cosy and homely 60-place centre, surrounded by trees and grass, provides a natural space for kids to get dirty and play – if they choose.

The small team of both local and non-local staff have been providing playful education to children for years, serving the Landsborough and Hinterland communities. We are passionate about every child having the opportunity to become stronger, wiser, braver and kinder.

Children thrive when they interact with peers of different ages and stages. That's why we create spaces that encourage these connections. We know the importance of art, music, storytelling, dance, nature and joy in nourishing children's hearts and souls, and we always remember to include these in our approach.

We are now looking for a Lead Educator (Diploma or Working Towards) for our 3 to 4 Years room and Float Educators (Diploma or Cert III) across our rooms as needed on a permanent part-time or casual basis

Your Next Opportunity:

In these roles, you will have the opportunity to facilitate and oversee the educational experiences of a great group of children. Your role will create a warm, safe and supportive learning environment where each child feels encouraged to achieve their educational goals.

  • Foster positive relationships with parents and colleagues to create a supportive and collaborative work environment.
  • Build a safe and welcoming learning space where children can explore and create while adhering to high health and safety standards.
  • Contribute to improving programs and practices while documenting incidents and sharing insights to keep everyone informed.
  • Show genuine care and attention to each child, meeting their unique needs and providing comfort.

With your
Diploma (or Working Towards) or Certificate III in Early Childhood Education
, we would love for you to have the experience to help you take off in these roles. Furthermore, you will hold a First Aid Certificate, CPR, Asthma and Anaphylaxis Certification and a Blue Card.

You will be willing and capable of contributing to rich learning and development programs and monitoring, assessing and contributing to reporting. As such, you will show initiative and commitment to the children's learning and development.

When required, you will step in for the Lead Teacher, making it essential for you to be assertive and able to express yourself confidently and politely in professional settings while effectively communicating their needs and boundaries. You will possess the following qualities:
