Responsibilities
As an Early Childhood Teacher, you'll inspire a love of learning in children and foster their development through purposeful, intentional teaching practices that are delivered with creativity and energy. You will build meaningful relationships with families, so each child has a strong sense of belonging that supports them to thrive. Your love of teaching will be reflected in how you mentor and guide educational practices in your room, and in your work with the broader centre leadership team to develop, review, and implement high-quality early learning programs, to ensure you're achieving optimal outcomes for children.
About Goodstart Cowra
Goodstart Early Learning Cowra is situated close to the centre of town, within walking distance to Cowra's nature-based adventure playground and the iconic Japanese Gardens. Our learning environments reflect individual children's learning and development underpinned by the National Early Years learning framework and Quality Standards. Our centre consists of three rooms; nursery (0-2), toddlers (2-3) and prekinder (3-5). We also have one room set aside for meetings, therapy support space, family information session and much more. Our large outdoor spaces encourage children to play, explore and imagine. Our outdoor learning curriculum scaffolds children's increasing knowledge of, and respect for natural and constructed environments. At Goodstart Cowra, we believe the foundations for a lifelong love of learning begins here. With the guidance of our skilled educators your child will learn to think, problem solve and work collaboratively. They'll experience the joy of helping others and the satisfaction of mastering something new – all great skills for school and life.
