Permanent Part-Time and Casual Educator Positions | Merrylands, NSW

Are you an Early Childhood Educator who loves what you do — but feels the sector has lost its way?

At Elementary Academy Early Learning (EAEL), we're building something different.

We believe educators deserve to feel respected, supported and inspired every single day. We're not just another centre — we're a family-owned preschool academy built on the values of quality, safety, belonging, and professional excellence.

Why Educators Choose Elementary Academy

Our team members stay and grow with us because we create the kind of workplace that reminds you why you fell in love with early education in the first place.

You'll Feel Valued – Professionally and Personally

We see you as an educator — not a babysitter. Our team is led by an experienced Early Childhood Education professional with over 14 years' sector experience. You'll be surrounded by qualified, passionate peers who share your love of learning, and who respect your voice and ideas.

You'll Have the Time and Tools to Do Your Best Work

We understand the stress of unrealistic workloads and unpaid admin hours. That's why we've built systems that reduce paperwork and ensure our educators have regular paid non-contact time to plan, reflect and collaborate.

You'll Grow in a Learning Culture

We invest in your professional development and provide access to training, workshops, and leadership mentoring. We believe that supporting your growth creates better outcomes for children and a more fulfilling career for you.

You'll Be Part of a Genuine Team

Our culture is built on trust, respect and collaboration. We celebrate every educator's unique strengths and ideas.

You'll Work in a Safe and Nurturing Environment

We're proud to operate under the highest standards of child safety and educator wellbeing, with clear policies, open communication, and management that listens. You'll always feel supported in managing children's behaviour, safety, and inclusion needs never left on your own.

You'll Be Cared For Too

From nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook to thoughtful daily routines and supportive leadership, we make sure you're not running on empty. Because you can't pour from an empty cup.
