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.

Your Role:

  • To develop strong relationships with children at the service
  • To develop the Children's Program (reflecting Early Years Learning Framework guidelines). 
  • Be in compliance with the OH&S Policy, ensure a safe environment is maintained for staff and children, with particular attention to children with anaphylaxis, allergies, asthma etc.
  • To ensure that accurate records are kept in regards to accident, incident, injury, illness and medication
  • To implement the service’s philosophy in undertaking all other duties
  • To liaise with families in regards to the day to day happenings.
  • To maintain observations and records of individual children's progress, particularly those identified through staff observation.

About you:

  • Have (or studying towards) Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care  qualification
  • 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 
  • Passionate about implementing Montessori early learning programs 
  • Commitment to the holistic development of their class

What we offer:

  • Above award rate of pay 
  • Fantastic training and development programs (including Montessori training)
  • Fully funded Montessori Diploma and ECT courses  
  • 50% staff discount on childcare fees for all Montessori Academy centres
  • Generous discounts to major retailers (Woolworths, Coles, Adore Beauty, Apple, Specsavers)
  • Excellent career advancement opportunities
  • Access to Employee Assistance Program 
  • Supportive Management Team with a flat organisational structure
  • Strong focus on work-life-balance
  • Great company culture that is fun, professional, and supportive of all team members
