We are looking for a full-time qualified toddler teacher to become the last piece of the puzzle and complete our team.

We are an independent, locally owned and managed, 80 capacity early learning centre in Papamoa, open 7.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday. Myself and my husband, Jamie, are here every day, living The Blue Cottage with you. The team is so important to us and we invest a lot of time and energy in ensuring you have the support you need to do the amazing job you’ve chosen. This is shown through our values of Trust, Support, Respect, Fun

The Blue Cottage is a unique centre that
• Embraces the home away from home environment with ‘real’ furniture and a touch of love
• Offers a stress-free service for families, we provide everything from food and nappies through to drink bottles and laundry
• Has excellent ratios which means lots of time for quality learning moments and cuddles
• Values staff in the crucial role they play which is why we support you with PD and actively seek your voice in how The Blue Cottage evolves
• Is environmentally aware with veggie gardens, worm farms and recycling as well as cloth nappies and we have always been plastic bag free

The usual roles and responsibilities apply, our standards and expectations are high, but we are all about recognising and rewarding those that live The Blue Cottage values. We believe that every team member is to be valued and respected for the role they play and as part of our team, you will have a fantastic chance to shine.

We are looking for a qualified toddler teacher who is professional and hardworking but at the same time knows that a day without laughter is a day wasted. You must be an experienced teacher who has great planning skills but also enjoys spontaneous activities. As a supportive team, we need people who are flexible and can adapt as the Cottage grows and evolves. Team members who are prepared to ‘muck in’ and get the job done, who have an opinion and enjoy respectful and constructive debate as part of the team who will shape the future of The Blue Cottage.
