The centre
From the spacious outdoor areas to the central piazza, Bear Park Remuera is natural, transparent and inspiring. The performing arts room and the central and classroom ateliers encourage children to engage in dance, drama, music, art and more.
With inspiration from Reggio Emilia, our teachers have a passion for inspiring wonder, creativity, imagination and investigation, fostering children's hundred languages and unravelling their theories alongside them.
The role
Bear Park Remuera is looking for a teacher in training or an experienced unqualified teacher to join its Keas room, working with children from two to three and a half as they find their feet and their words.
Working with this age group is engaging, rewarding and fun. More teachers in the room than the ratio asks gives you time for intentional, meaningful learning with small groups, and three hours of dedicated group planning every week gives you time to reflect and plan alongside your team. Paid in-service sessions every two months bring the whole of Bear Park together to connect and enrich our practice. You will bring energy and joy to the room, and be responsive, thoughtful and kind in every interaction.
