Are you seeking a highly experienced and stable centre leadership that truly supports you as well as an aligned philosophy where the #1 priority is on children’s learning and needs?Our Director has worked at our beautiful Forest Hill centre since we opened and most of our team have worked here for over 3 years! Come and join a genuinely supportive and stable environment.Over the last year we have experienced the same challenges facing the early childhood sector that others have. What is different at Petit is that when an Educator has chosen to see if the grass is greener on the other side, they seem to want to come back to Petit Forest Hill. We have asked our recent returning employees why they have chosen to come back to Petit and they said:"It is due to the Petit philosophy. I can see the value Petit place on educating children, and that aligns well with who I am and the type of education and care professional I want to be" - Diploma Educator, Forest Hill"I can be a better Educator here.
