Teacher-in-Training (BestStart Allenton)
Start Here. Grow Here.
At BestStart Allenton, our local curriculum is shaped by the values and aspirations of our parents and kaiako for their tamariki. Our cultural narrative is inspired by the braided rivers in our area, symbolizing the journey children take through life. Just as each braid of the river is significant, so too are the influences of family, preschool, and community in a child's life.
As a Teacher in Training, you'll work alongside experienced kaiako, supporting children's learning and development while building your teaching practice in a collaborative environment.
This is a permanent part-time position working 36 hours per week in our infants and toddlers' space for a year 1 or 2 Teacher in Training.
