Full Time/ Part Time I Leadership Role I Above Award Wages
We are a proudly family-owned and operated centre, committed to providing a family-oriented and child-focused environment. Our 52-place centre, located at 108 Alma road, Padstow 2211 , is built on nurturing relationships, educator wellbeing, and joyful early learning—values that sit at the heart of everything we do.
We're embarking on an exciting new chapter with a change in management, and we see this as a purposeful opportunity to shape a fresh, inspired future for our children, families, and educator team.

We believe educators should have the freedom to lead creatively—shaping the environment, pursuing their purpose, and delivering excellence—while being fully supported with guidance, collaboration, and financial backing to bring ideas to life.
