Ready for a Change? Step Into a Role with Real Impact and Autonomy

If you're an experienced educator tired of feeling boxed in — and you're hungry for more purpose, more influence, and more growth — this is your sign.

At Seedlings & Co., we do things differently. Rooted in a deep respect for nature, we believe children thrive when they're trusted to explore, question, and connect. We honour the beauty of cultural and community diversity and see every educator as a leader in their own right.

  • Embrace professional growth with regular feedback, mentoring, and training.
  • Contribute to a team culture that values reflection, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Be responsive to each child's needs and interests, with a strong focus on inclusion and positive guidance.

What We're Looking For:

  • A bold and capable educator with at least 5 years' experience.
  • Someone who's not afraid to try new things or step into leadership.
  • Deep knowledge of the NQF and early childhood theorists.
