Opening June 2026 | Brand-New 127-Place Service | 6 Rooms | Mooroolbark

Something special is opening in Mooroolbark this June and we’re looking for four Diploma-qualified Lead Educators to join us from the very beginning.

We have opportunities across age groups birth to 3 years. This is your chance to walk into a brand-new, purpose-built 127-place service and help shape how it feels, how it runs and how learning comes to life from day one.

As an Early Childhood Lead Educator, you know how integral your role is. Skip the wordy ad! Watch the video instead, and below, uncover how we value you, enhancing your career piece by piece with fantastic benefits at our Mooroolbark service. 🌟

But what does the journey look like from here?

If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to complete a short one-way video interview so we can learn more about your experience and what excites you about building a service from the ground up.

From there, selected candidates will be invited to attend an assessment day on Wednesday 18th March, at the service alongside other potential Lead Educators.

This is more than an interview. It’s your opportunity to:
