Qualified ECE Kaiako - ref. g74605203
Timaru
Peel Forest Preschool is a community-based, not-for-profit ECE centre in the heart of Peel Forest Village. We have recently relicensed to allow us to now cater to under two-year-olds which means we are on the lookout for a passionate teacher to join our close-knit team.
We are licensed for 20 tamariki, have 4 amazing kaiako and can have up to 4 under two-year-olds. We currently have children under two enrolled 3 days/week, so this is a part time role that has the potential to increase as our roll grows.

- Pathway to School and Music & Movement programmes – with training available
- Mentoring & professional development opportunities
- Full Pay Parity – remuneration based on experience and qualifications
- School-term structure – closed for school holidays and for three weeks over Christmas

We’re seeking an ECE qualified and registered (full or provisional) teacher who:- Is genuinely passionate about early childhood education and making a difference
- Values strong relationships with tamariki, whanau, and the teaching team
- Is collaborative, flexible, and proactive in their approach
- Has a solid understanding of Te Whariki and how to weave it into daily practice
- Holds, or is willing to obtain, a first aid certificate (paid for by the centre)
