Join River Region Early Education as an Early Childhood Educator in Deniliquin

A great early childhood educator does more than supervise a room. They help children feel safe, seen and ready to explore the world around them.

River Region Early Education is inviting caring, capable educators to join the team at Deniliquin Childcare Centre. This is a permanent full-time role, with a minimum of four days per week, rostered within service hours of 8:00am to 6:00pm.

Outdoor play supports curiosity, confidence and connection.

A role with purpose

At River Region Early Education, the work is guided by a simple belief: educating rural children to open the mind and the heart.

As an Early Childhood Educator, you will provide high-quality education and care for children aged 0 to 5 years. The role centres on safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environments where every child can build confidence, independence and a sense of belonging.

This position suits someone who values relationships. You will work closely with children, families and colleagues to support wellbeing, development, learning and agency through play-based experiences.

What the work looks like each day

Early childhood education is active, practical and deeply relational. Some days are filled with painting, stories and outdoor exploration. Other moments involve helping a child settle, supporting routines, encouraging friendships or noticing a new skill as it emerges.

Shared stories help young children build language and trust.

In this role, you will:

• Place the safety, rights and wellbeing of children at the centre of every decision.

• Build respectful, nurturing relationships with children.

• Support each child’s strengths, interests, needs and stage of development.

• Contribute to planning, delivering and reflecting on play-based learning.

• Create indoor and outdoor spaces that invite creativity, exploration and safe risk-taking.

• Maintain active supervision and support daily routines and personal care.

• Promote inclusion and respect for every child’s culture, background, abilities and family context.

  
  

The program is aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, giving educators a strong foundation for supporting children’s learning through meaningful play.
