Excite the children with your food wizardry – inspiring them to be curious and intrigued by all types of fruits and vegetables

At Green Leaves Early Learning, we take pride in building a learning environment where children are inspired to be curious about taste and flavour. Working closely with the Centre Chef at Green Leaves Early Learning Ashgrove, each day you can:

• Use your extraordinary culinary skills to support the Centre Chef in preparing a wide variety of nutritious meals and purees, as well as working to dietary requirements for babies and children
• Greet our wonderful families with a big warm friendly smile each day, and wow them with your barista-made coffees and freshly baked treats (barista training provided if required)
• Provide thoughtful culinary classes alongside our Centre Chef and Educators
• Ensure the highest level of food safety, by maintaining a clean and safe kitchen, in accordance with Food and Council Authority requirements and Green Leaves Early Learning Standards
