Who wouldn't love waking up each day to work in an environment that nurtures both children and a remarkable variety of animals?

At Una Springwood, we care for more than just young minds—we also tend to a lively mix of creatures, from our petting zoo with chickens and sheep to reptiles like baby snakes and pygmy dragons, as well as birds, stick insects, native bees, and a thriving worm farm. This peaceful, nature-rich setting fosters curiosity, mindfulness, and connection, making it a truly inspiring place to grow, learn, and thrive.

If you're passionate about early childhood education and love the idea of working in a space that celebrates curiosity, care, and the wonders of the natural world—for both children and animals—Una Springwood could be your perfect fit

About Una

At Una, our mission is guided by five key principles that shape everything we do:

Nature Grows Us – We believe that children thrive in natural environments, fostering a deep connection to the world around them.

Let Them Lead – We encourage children to take the lead in their own learning, supporting curiosity and independence.

Care for Your Forever Home – Our bodies are our forever homes, which is why our programs are designed to inspire a lifelong care and appreciation for holistic health.

Diversity Enriches All – We embrace the richness that diversity brings, fostering an inclusive environment for all.

A Little Wild Does a Lot of Good – We celebrate the joy of being wild at heart, knowing that outdoor exploration builds resilience and confidence.

With these principles at the heart of our philosophy, we provide children with enriching, nature-based experiences that foster a lifelong love of learning. Our focus on natural play in a beautiful bush setting encourages children to explore, learn, and grow.

At Una we believe the environment offers enriching experiences for children to fulfil their sense of wonder and curiosity while learning about nature and sustainable practice.

Our focus is on allowing children to indulge in natural play surrounded by a beautiful bush setting, and our unique learning experiences will instill in children a lifetime love of learning.

This will prepare our children for a life filled with amazing possibilities
