What you'll be doing
If you live local, you might know our Bunbury Learning Centre in Glen Iris, nestled close to the beach. Walking into your centre every day you'll smile as the early morning sun shines across our natural outdoor play spaces. You'll then ask yourself the BIG question: 'How can we provide a service that enriches our community, and allows children, families and educators to grow in body, mind and spirit?'

You'll champion our School ReadY program while managing compliance requirements along with supporting your director with day to day operational duties. And at the end of your shift, you'll walk out the door (still smiling), knowing the children continue to grow in body, mind, and spirit. Sounds like you? Please check out the PD attached below.
