Educator

About this role

We're looking for a confident, caring and organised Educator to join our team at Only About Children Rose Bay Village campus! This is a role for someone who loves supporting a room, building strong relationships and creating the kind of calm, engaging environment where children and educators can thrive. 

About our Rose Bay Village campus 

There's a beautiful sense of warmth and belonging at Rose Bay Village. Set on Newcastle Street, close to New South Head Road, the campus has a true village feel where children, families and educators feel known and welcomed. With local shops, libraries, community gardens and onsite parking nearby, it feels deeply connected to everyday Rose Bay life. 

Inside, Rose Bay Village feels thoughtful, joyful and full of care. Children enjoy large outdoor play areas, age-based indoor spaces, an onsite kitchen, library and Zen room. Families often describe the campus as more like a village than a daycare, with familiar faces, beautiful food and strong communication. It's a campus where children feel safe, valued and loved.
