Why Join Us?

At YK-OK, we truly value our educators—they are the heartbeat of our service. We believe in creating an environment where staff are supported, recognised, and given opportunities to grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A brand new custom designed, state of the art work place. Not an old house painted in bright colours or unused space in residential apartments or shopping centres, but a purpose built building to cater for educators and children.
  • A workplace that values balance, with flexible working arrangements
  • Recognition and rewards for your contributions and achievements
  • Professional development and clear pathways for career progression
  • An environment that encourages creativity, innovation, and curiosity—where your ideas are heard and celebrated
  • Above award wages. Bring your existing payslip along and we promise to better it.
  • Industry leading off the floor time for programming and planning

If you are ready to share your passion and help shape the future of early education, we would love to hear from you.
