As a treasured Early Childhood Teacher at our Upper Kedron center, you'll inspire and nurture young minds, guiding their learning and development in fun and creative ways. Join Michelle and her team of passionate Educators at C&K Upper Kedron, where we take pride in our deep connections to nature, strong bonds with families and the community, and vibrant celebration of diverse cultures.

Nestled within the natural bush of Upper Kedron, our centre has been designed in collaboration with educators and architects, to create inviting spaces for children to explore, discover, learn and play. With both age-based rooms and communal learning spaces, siblings and children of all ages can come together to learn and play.

With energy, creativity and a passion for education, you’ll take a hands-on approach to teaching children 6 weeks to 5 years in a play-based learning environment. And as an approachable leader for families, children and your team, you’ll nurture a culture where everyone can belong, grow and thrive.
