Lead Educator

We are seeking a Lead Educator to join our team running an afterschool program that cares for children from Prep to Year Two only.  

We have been owned and operated for the same family for nearly thirty years and continue to go from strength to strength thanks to our incredible leadership team and high-quality educators.  Wandilla Magic is a warm, caring, supportive, family-owned centre.  We are located in Loganholme and are a part of a close-knit community that works together for the benefit of all.

Our team is filled with long term, happy staff; our current longest serving staff member has been with us since we opened, and the rest have been with us for at least one year or more.

We believe that the most important part of our day is ensuring that all children, staff and families feel supported and welcome in our beautiful centre.  The children's happiness and wellbeing is at the forefront of all our decisions and guides us in all our daily practices.
