Are you a dedicated, passionate Montessori Early Childhood teacher looking to join a warm, supportive team? We are seeking a committed educator to join our small, caring team of four teachers. Licensed for just 28 children per day, our preschool offers a homely, family-oriented environment for tamariki aged 2 to 6 years.

At Koru, children are supported to

  • take ownership of their choices
  • develop lifelong curiosity and a love of learning

We are looking for someone with

  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • A warm, collaborative teaching style and genuine passion for Montessori education

Both part-time and full-time applicants will be considered. We offer generous non-contact time to allow for meaningful planning, documentation, and reflection.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your confidential application and CV to korumontessori@xtra.co.nz.

Interviews will take place mid-January.
