Teacher in Training – Mairangi Bay

Located off Constellation Drive, Bear Park Mairangi Bay is a warm, welcoming and creative centre licensed for up to 83 children. We are proud of our bi-cultural heritage and strive to create an environment that is challenging, inclusive, supportive and encouraging.

We are looking for an ECE Teacher-In-Training to join us in a full time position working with either our preschoolers (max 1:7 ratio) or toddlers (max 1:6 ratio). This is a fabulous opportunity to grow your teaching skillset alongside an experienced and committed team, whilst being surrounded by a natural, resource-rich environment. With amazing ratios and three hours dedicated planning time per room each week, we allow time for intentional planning and teaching. You will be an experienced ECE teacher, dedicated to pursuing teaching as a long-term career.

At Bear Park Mairangi Bay, our long-standing team is passionate and committed to delivering individualised and creative education to each of the children in our care. Our teaching spaces are split between four large rooms, with a generous outdoor environment that serves as a fresh air extension for child-led learning and play.

In our outdoor area, children encounter meandering pathways, lush grass and native trees. Our river bed, moveable outdoor climbing equipment, rocking bridge and large sandpits encourage adventurous play, helping young minds to appreciate the richness and infinite possibilities that the natural environment has to offer.
