We are looking for a Senior Educator, Diploma in Early Childhood Education and has a good knowledge about Early Childhood Education Sector & who is a trained educator to join our Goulburn Childcare Centre.
About the Centre
Our Goulburn Centre is a 73-place centre providing high-quality and early childhood education and childcare for children from birth to school age in Goulburn. We are located in the centre of Goulburn, so we make regular trips with the children to Goulburn Regional Art Gallery, Goulburn Mulwaree Library, nearby parks and places of interest such as the police station, fire station and local businesses.
We have a large outdoor play area with lots of trees to provide shade in the summer and sun-dappled adventures during the winter. It has a sandpit under a sail, cubby spaces, and a proper mud kitchen with wide sinks and bench tops so the children can create garden play delicacies There's also a veggie garden where the children plant seedlings, which they later pick and eat as part of their nutritious meals. Last but certainly not least is the chicken house where their beloved centre chickens live.
