Room Leader - Toddler
In my room, every day has a rhythm.
There are stories and songs.
Big feelings and tiny shoes.
Questions that start with "why."
Paint on hands.
Friends to find.
Moments when I need someone steady to help me feel brave.
At Only About Children Mona Vale, that leader could be you.
We're looking for a confident, caring and organised Room Leader.

Our purpose-built, two-level early learning Campus is located in the heart of Mona Vale, nestled within a peaceful residential pocket just moments from Mona Vale Beach and Apex Park.

I need to feel safe before I can learn, play and grow.
At OAC, child safety comes first. There is zero tolerance for child abuse and harm. Everyone who joins the team must help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive place where children have a voice, feel safe, and are valued and respected.
