AddressLooking for a Passionate Early Childhood Educator
About Us
Turner Road Preschool is looking to welcome a dedicated and passionate Early Childhood Educator to join our team full-time or part-time. We are a beautiful 22 place service which is highly inspired by the wonderful philosophy of the Reggio Emilia approach. We are located in the Berowra area and are open from 8am-4pm, 48 weeks per year. We believe in providing a safe and secure environment for children to flourish, where families are valued and included in all aspects of our educational programs. We believe in promoting learning through nature, children’s innate abilities and idea, and beautiful, stimulating Early Childhood environments.
We provide permanent areas for discovery such as our incredible atelier, bountiful construction areas and detailed dramatic play areas. We are a well resourced service who believes in promoting important concepts such as autonomy, risky play, sustainability and inspiring in children a life long love of learning.
