**The Company**:
**Why work in a Montessori environment?**
Unlike play-based childcare centres and preschools, Montessori Academy nurtures the uniqueness of each child and provides an early learning experience that prepares them, not only for school, but for life.

In a Montessori classroom, educators serve as a link between the Prepared Environment and the children. Their role is to observe the children and guide them in their own unique learning process, to help them develop a life-long love of learning. Activities and learning experiences are implemented to suit each child's current interests, needs and stage of development, to allow them to learn at their own pace. The educator-child relationship is based on trust and respect, which creates a positive learning environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported in their learning journey.

**The Role**:
As a Room Leader, you are expected to be an active member of a team which provides high quality education and care for all enrolled children that is consistent with the service philosophy, procedures and policies, the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and as per the National Quality Framework.
- Guide, support, and supervise staff, students and volunteers in the room
- Deliver inspiring Montessori early learning experiences for the children
- Develop the Children's Program
- Ensure a safe environment is maintained for staff and children
- Ensure accurate records are kept in regard to accident, incident, injury, illness and medication
- Liaise with families
- Maintain observations and records of individual children's progress

**About you**:

- Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (or ACECQA equivalent)
- Minimum 1 year experience as a Room Leader experience or at least 3 years experience in ECE
- Current Working with Children Check
- First Aid Certificate or willing to obtain one
- Excellent understanding and working knowledge of the National Quality Framework, which includes: National Regulations, National Quality Standards (NQS), and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work collaboratively and cooperatively in a team environment
- Strong understanding of the importance of family communications
- Strong understanding of the Montessori Philosophy
- Well versed with Montessori learning materials, the curriculum areas, and progression
- Passionate about implementing Montessori early learning programs
- Commitment to the holistic development of their class

**What we offer**:

- Above award rate of pay
