Early Childhood Educator – Queenstown, New Zealand – January 2025 Start

Details of the offer

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the beginning of Glenorchy's first ECE Centre, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the local tamariki and community.

Overview

ASQ International is seeking a part-time qualified Early Childhood Educator to join a new crèche at the start of 2025. The role is part-time, working 3 days a week, supporting 2-5 year old children to initiate and guide their own learning through observing, problem-solving and exploring at their own pace.

The school

A crèche named for its location in the heart of Tahuna Glenorchy, which was once a thriving kowhai valley that connected the foothills of Ka Tiritiri-o-te-Moana the Southern Alps to the top of Whakatipu Waimaori Lake Wakatipu. A registered not for profit community crèche governed by a board of 6 experienced community members, parents and ECE professionals. The curriculum embraces learning opportunities that allow tamariki to explore, inquire and grow within the safety of their community and among its unique natural surroundings. This inquiry-based learning approach keeps tamariki at the centre of their own learning.

Like the vibrant kowhai flower, the centre creates a positive environment for learning and play, where tamariki are encouraged, stimulated and respected through the care and comfort offered by teaching staff. Ka Kaiako, the teachers, are also cared for and valued as such that they are supported to deliver a curriculum that maintains connections to the community and environment.
