Farmhouse Preschool and Nursery Manawatu/Whanganui

Certificated Kaiako

We have one of our dynamic kaiako moving to another region so we are on the lookout for an amazing kaiako to join our Farmhouse whānau. 

We are a farm based early learning service based in a semi-rural setting on the outskirts of Levin. We have four separate age-appropriate rooms (one nursery and three preschool rooms) that are well resourced and provide plenty of space for learning and active exploration. 

We have a variety of farm animals where our tamariki have opportunities to engage with these where they are learning about empathy, how to take care of our animals and to enjoy these interactions in a safe and supportive environment. Our tamariki especially love rides on our miniature pony and are always excited to be part of these experiences.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Is able to adapt and be flexible within a busy learning environment
• The ability to interact in a supportive environment, promote tamariki emotional and social competence
• Bring dedication, be present and passionate about empowering tamariki and upholding their mana
• Contributes to the development of a reflective and respectful professional culture
• A lifelong learner who brings energy, empathy and creativity
• Team orientated with a positive and professional attitude
• Committed to building strong relationships with tamariki, whānau, and colleagues

What we offer you;

• Full pay parity

• Paid PLD opportunities and mentoring to support professional growth and teaching capabilities
• Supportive management who work alongside kaiako, value open communication, welcome fresh ideas, and support growth
• Budgets where kaiako can purchase art, stationary and resources regularly throughout the year
