About Goodstart Tapping:

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Tapping is an 82 place centre with 4 wonderful rooms, located in a quiet street opposite St Stephens School and a bus stop right outside the centre.

We believe in building strong meaningful relationships, so we can create supportive, rich nurturing play environments that lead to lifelong learning. To do this we build Key Educator relationships. Children are offered a Key Educator, who will build secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships, recognising children as active participants in their own learning. It is our belief that before a child can learn they must feel comfortable in a safe and healthy environment.

Inside, all 4 rooms - Nursery to Preschool – a setup in line with the Early Years Learning Framework has been created. Our rooms invite sensory and play based learning opportunities. Natural, stimulating surrounds and resources ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through open ended, play-based learning.

You’ll need:

• Certificate III or Diploma in Early Childhood (or ACECQA approved equivalent)
• Strong knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards
• Current WA Working with Children Check
