SalaryAbout us
As an Early Learning Centre, our philosophy at St. Alban's is to provide high quality education and care for children. Behind this, sits recognition of children as co-participants in their care, their community and their educational endeavours. We pride ourselves on providing an atmosphere where each child is encouraged to recognise and develop their individuality in a safe, supportive, supervised environment. At St. Alban's we also believe each child is unique and support them to achieve their optimal potential through implementing our innovative Kindy programme.
We aren’t just a Childcare Service at St. Alban's; we are a family. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships with our community and maintaining these through respectful and reciprocal interactions.
People of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island heritage are strongly encouraged to apply.
