Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Gumnut Kidz Kindergarten Full time $60,000 - $100,000 per year
Join Our Award Winning Boutique Early Learning Family

Looking for a role where you feel valued, supported, and inspired every single day? Welcome to our beautiful little boutique service, where just 29 children fill our centre with joy across the day — and where our educators are celebrated just as much as our little learners.

We're not your average service. Here's why:

We're overstaffed on purpose – so you'll always have the time and support to create magical learning moments.

Wellbeing matters here – enjoy your own full wellness subscription, 24/7 counselling access, delicious recipes, meditation tools, and more.

Privately owned by two qualified early childhood professionals – we get the struggles of the industry, so we've built the kind of workplace we'd want to work in: fun, relaxed, positive, and inspiring.

We are seeking a highly qualified Diploma-trained Educator or Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) who demonstrates strong leadership qualities. The successful candidate will bring a deep understanding of the Early Years Learning Framework, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to mentor and inspire their colleagues. This role has the potential to include stepping into the Educational Leader position for the right candidate.

What Makes Us Different
  • Small, nurturing groups – no overwhelming numbers. Just you and your small group, meaning minimal observations and more meaningful connections.
  • You'll never go without – need resources? Order it, and it's yours. Zero budgets. Zero guilt.
  • Work-life balance champions – no buying supplies out of your own pocket and no work at home (ever). We also listen and flex around your life outside of work.

  • Everything you should get — and more:

  • Paid overtime

  • Paid staff meetings with dinner provided
  • Paid events
  • Programming and study time (with extras when available)
  • Over staffed preventing stress
  • Focus on hands-on, nature based learning.
  • Access to allied health (occupational therapist and speech therapist) consistently to develop further professionally and help you along the way.
  • Strong emphasis on growth and support
  • Small privately owned service by Early Childhood Teachers.
Who We're Looking For

We're a close-knit, long-term team who can't wait to welcome someone who is:

  • Bubbly, personable, and full of heart
  • Passionate about growth and bringing fresh ideas
  • Excited to lead a school readiness program for our group of 10 gorgeous, well-mannered, enthusiastic children
  • a person who places high value on professionalism, relatyionship building and wanting to grow learn and lead

If you hold a Diploma in Children's Services or an Early Childhood Degree, have the skills to create an inspiring school readiness program, and are passionate about building strong, supportive relationships with families and children—we'd love to meet you and welcome you to our team."

Why You'll Love It Here

Because here, you're not "just another educator." You're seen, heard, supported, and celebrated. You'll have the freedom to be the best teacher you can be — without the burnout.

So, if you're ready to join a stunning environment where fun and balance meet purpose and inspiration, we'd love to chat
