We are a long established and highly regarded community based ECE Centre with a warm and caring environment, catering for up to 40 children between ages 1-5 years.

• Paid first aid course.

Here’s what our whanau have said about Kidz Corner: “This day care and staff are remarkable. The teachers have cared for and taught all three of our children and are not only knowledgeable but care about each child.” “We feel so happy about how kind and supportive they are, highly recommend, we are so happy here.” “The centre is professionally run and our kids always come home laden with craft projects and stories about what they have learnt.”

The role is ideally full time, Monday to Friday, but we are willing to consider fewer days and practicum leave for the right candidate. The applicant will need flexibility to work within the rostered hours of 7.15 am and 5.30 pm, and to attend paid after-work staff meetings (one per fortnight).

Applicants must have a current NZ work visa or residency.
