  • Build respectful relationships with children, families, and the broader community.
  • Contribute to curriculum audits, QIP development, and child safety initiatives.

  • Current NSW Working with Children Check, First Aid, CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis certification.
  • National Police Check (or willingness to obtain).
  • Proven experience in leading curriculum and guiding educator practice.
  • Deep understanding of the EYLF V2.0, NQF, NQS, and Child Safe Standards.
