C&K Thornlands Childcare Centre, located on Beveridge Road. Our philosophy for this age group is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child to allow them the opportunity to learn and discover at their own pace. We are focused on spending one-on-one time with babies and toddlers and developing deep and trusting relationships with each individual child.
 
At C&K Thornlands Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 6:30am to 6:30pm.

As a home away from home, our environment provides a safe, secure and supported space for your child. Our dedicated, friendly and qualified staff nurture play-based learning, fostering a life-long love of learning. Our families love our large natural outdoor area, where we encourage children to explore, discover, play and engage in nature. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Lead Educator to join the Centre. This position is for a 24-month fixed term contract, with a possibility of extension, working 40 hours per week, with a monthly rostered day off.
