Casual Educators
About
Become part of our family!
​
About Us: We have been in operation for over 20 years and started as refuge for families who lost their homes in the Ash Wednesday fires. We are community run and not for profit. Our Centre has two rooms and caters for up to 26 children per day. We pride ourselves on our multi-age setting as this allows siblings to be together and also allows the older children to take on leadership roles.
​
We are open from 7:30am – 5:30pm and close for two weeks over Christmas. Our small team is like extended family, many of which have been working at the centre for many years. So if you’re looking for flexible working arrangements, with a close knit team, then look no further!
