Top 4 reasons why our educators love working with us

1. Freedom for a fun day, every day
Having a maximum of four children in your care gives you the freedom to tailor the day's activities to suit the children's interests - from painting to attending a playgroup, to outdoor adventures. As a home based educator, it'll never be "just another day at the office."

2. Career fulfillment
Passionate about nurturing and caring for children? As an educator you'll have the opportunity to inspire and encourage the growth of young tamariki/ children. If making their early years count is close to your heart, we expect you'll find your job satisfaction in early childhood education.
Working with us you'll gain access to expert professional development and the opportunity to expand your career horizons. Formal early childhood education (ECE) qualifications are not currently required for home based educators, however we provide support, assistance and tons of encouragement for those educators who wish to step into tertiary study.
