Why become a Pohutukawa Kids educator?
At Pohutukawa Kids, our co-ordinators are fully invested in supporting you in your care and education practices. We provide guidance throughout the stages of being an Educator, from initially signing up, meeting families and then the education of children in your care. Our co-ordinators are fully trained, and are able to provide individualised support and resources for you and your learning environment.
We provides you the opportunity to care for up to two children under two, and four children altogether. Because of the structure of home-based childcare, the hours you work are flexible to suit the needs of you and the families.
We believe communication is essential, and because of this we maintain regular contact and visits with all our Educators. Our Educators are supported in setting up and maintaining their home learning environment; including Pohutukawa Kids providing essential equipment such as port-a-cots and high chairs. We also provide monthly resource packs, which you can choose based upon the interests on the children in your care. Furthermore, we have weekly playgroup and gym sessions. These provide valuable opportunities for you to meet and develop relationships with other Educators, have continuing discussions with our co-ordinators, and learning opportunities for you to provide the children in your care.
Who can become an educator?
Pohutukawa Kids is continuing to look for people over the age of 17 who are interested in providing a learning environment that is nurturing and educational.
