  • Familiarity with Reggio, Montessori, or inquiry-led approaches is preferred
  • Able to commit to a Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM fixed schedule

Key Details
  • Start Date: 5 January 2026
  • Work Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Leave: Over 55+ paid weekdays off annually (school holiday calendar)

  • Salary: $3,500 - $4,500/month
