Kaleidoscope Childcare

31/07/2023

We are looking for a qualified, registered Kaiako to join our incredible team. A full time role is now available in our toddler room because Marama, our manager is going to be taking over the Centre with her other half Matt. They have always been involved in Kaleidoscope with Matt’s parents Lynne and Kevin, however they are now ready to retire.

If you are looking for a Centre that is respectful and supportive of you as a teacher then we may just be the Centre for you. We look after our staff as though they are a part of our extend Whānau. We have each others backs and we listen.
We run at good ratios, breaks and non contact is always covered and we like to share the shifts around so everyone has equal early and late finishes.

We have opted into extended pay parity also, as we believe teachers should be paid what they are worth. (We wish we could afford to go beyond).

We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk, so please if you’re feeling like you need a change or you’re considering coming back to the sector, pop in and see what we are all about.

This is so very true.

Earlier doesn’t always mean better.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Her kid walked at one year, yours walked at eighteen months, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.⁣⁣
Her kid potty-trained at two years old, yours didn't potty-train until four years old, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.⁣⁣
Her kid recognized all his letters and numbers before pre-school, yours had no interest until almost four, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.⁣⁣
Her kid was sleeping through the night by three months, yours wasn’t sleeping through the night until two years old, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because reaching developmental milestones early means 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 in the long run.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because a college professor won’t wonder how old her students were when they could count to one hundred or spell their names.⁣⁣
And no one will know or care if the Harvard graduate or the CEO had a pacifier or didn't potty-train until five years old.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What matters most is the whole child,⁣⁣
who 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 are,⁣⁣
and how kind 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 are⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So let the pressure go,⁣⁣
and let your kids be kids.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Don’t rush them through their childhoods,⁣⁣
and make them miss out⁣⁣
because they’re too busy meeting milestone after milestone.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Besides, earlier doesn’t always mean better.

With one of our amazing kaiako moving over the ditch to australia we have a full time teaching position in our toddler room.

This could be for a qualified or unqualified person, it just all depends on the fit. We offer wonderful support to teachers who are studying and professional development is something we encourage as we are all life long learners.

For qualified teachers we pay for first aid and teacher registration, and although we haven’t chosen to opt in for pay parity as of yet, we still work to pay very competitive rates, of which are negotiable.

What is most important for us is finding a teacher who is heart led, fun, enjoys a laugh and who considers themselves a life long learner.

If you or someone you know is considering a change, we would love to meet you or them and share what we consider to be a home away from home.
