Teacher / Kaiako Position - Kāramuramu Kindergarten
Kāramuramu Kindergarten is nestled within the small, close-knit community of Murupara, at the gateway to the majestic Te Urewera rainforest, south of Rotorua. We provide high-quality education and care for families across Murupara, Galatea, Minginui, Te Whaiti, and Kaingaroa.
Kāramuramu Kindergarten is a place where tamariki thrive through strong relationships, rich play-based learning, and deep connections to te ao Māori and the natural world.
Our vision, Making the Early Years Count, reflects our commitment to ensuring every moment in a child’s early years lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Our mission is to create an environment that empowers our community of learners to realise their potential by nurturing each child’s strengths, fostering a genuine sense of belonging, and working in partnership with whānau and the wider community.
Our philosophy is inspired by our local iwi, Ngāti Manawa. We place great importance on whakapapa, whanaungatanga, te taiao, and te ao Māori. We value holistic development, cultural identity, leadership, the spiritual dimension of learning, and sustainable practices that nurture respect and care for the environment. Our kaiako and tamariki work together as kaitiaki of our natural spaces, weaving kaitiakitanga into our daily practice.
Our team of dedicated wāhine are passionate about supporting tamariki, building their confidence, and collaborating closely with whānau.
If you are committed to manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, and empowering tamariki to reach their full potential, we warmly invite you to join us!
Travel allowance is available if you live outside of Murupara on the outskirts or Rotorua/Whakatane.
