Are you ready for an exciting and rewarding career in early education?
For over 25 years, Kool Kidz has delivered quality childcare and kindergarten across Melbourne. We’re always looking for passionate, dedicated and motivated professionals to join our community.
If you’re ready for a vibrant, fun, family-focused culture where you can make a positive impact on children, you’re in the right place.
We welcome current or aspiring childcare and early learning professionals committed to hard work with a love of children. Are you passionate about early learning and development, have lots of initiative, take care and pride in your accomplishments, and have great communication skills as well as a willingness to contribute as a true team player then a role with Kool Kidz is for you.
At Kool Kidz we promote and encourage innovative, interesting and engaging educational programs, which educators become fully immersed in and enjoy as much as the children.
Our programs centre on our play-based Kool Beginnings Curriculum, ensuring that our children are equipped with the social, physical, and cognitive skills they need to begin the next chapter of their journey.
Our warm and friendly workplace accepts and welcomes diversity and respects you as an individual. We celebrate the uniqueness that each individual brings to our teams.
Just like our children, we know that educators need a sense of belonging so they can thrive. We all have the right to feel safe and secure at work, and at Kool Kidz, our unique strategies and mentoring support this.
Each service is privately owned and family-run and aims to maintain a harmonious and supportive workplace where the culture is all about unity.
Each of our employees has access to a central support team that provides mentoring, training assistance, and advice when you need that extra helping hand. There are also many internal professional development programs, and additionally, we encourage external development and formal training.
We welcome people of all qualifications, ages, genders and ethnicities who are passionate about children to apply.
Once you accept a position at Kool Kidz, you attend a thorough induction process, which gives you the confidence to start your first day knowing what is expected of you. There are also lots of training opportunities to complement and expand on your existing knowledge base and experience.
Not necessarily, if you are currently undertaking a course we welcome you to apply to be part of our team.
The Kool Kidz workplace is both professional and fun for educators, families and children creating a fantastic environment which promotes high-quality interactions and exciting early learning opportunities for children.
The Kool Kidz workplace culture is all about getting the most out of your day through quality interactions with children, being part of a team of passionate, dedicated and committed industry professionals. Kool Kidz offers all educators every opportunity to excel both professionally and personally to achieve all your personal goals. We have spent many years developing our staff practices to ensure Kool Kidz services are a preferred employer.
If you are willing to study whilst working at Kool Kidz this can be arranged through an approved Registered Training Organisation. Our Central Support Trainers can assist both yourself and the Approved Providers in setting this up.
Kool Kidz offers regular professional development opportunities to all educators either on-site or externally as required. Kool Kidz central support aims to provide up to date child-related information in a constantly changing and evolving industry. Educators can access this support and knowledge either individually or in a group learning environment.
Kool Kidz services are privately owned and family-run where the Approved Provider who owns the business, runs the business day to day. Approved Providers are fully trained in all aspects of Kool Kidz operations, procedures and standards and are supported by the Kool Kidz central support team.

Kool Kidz services must comply with the Children’s Services Regulations; in particular, the educator to child ratios must be followed at all times. The Kool Kidz rostering philosophy encourages approved providers to operate their services above the child to educator ratio’s in each room to ensure Kool Kidz high-quality standards are met at all times.
You can apply online or just drop in to meet our approved providers or educators where you can submit your resume. If we are interested in what you have to offer we will then contact you to arrange an initial interview to discuss your suitability. Depending on the position you have applied for there may be a second interview involving a more thorough discussion on more specific expectations and requirements. Kool Kidz adheres to the laws covering recruitment at all times such as confidentiality.
If you get a thrill from witnessing a baby walk for the first time, or get excited when a child achieves then Kool Kidz is for you. If you take pride in working as part of a team and live for the kind of enjoyment and magic which can only be achieved through working with children, Kool Kidz is for you.
Any person with a genuine love for children who is caring, nurturing and absolutely enjoys being around children. If you are primarily motivated by money or just need a job to pay the bill, Kool Kidz is really not for you. Kool Kidz feels all children deserve the absolute best at all times, so we are genuinely committed to finding professionals who’s motivations to work in the industry are the best outcomes for the children at all times.
Experience is not everything and as long as you have or are commencing a qualification and have passion yes you should apply. Kool Kidz invests a lot of time into new educators, providing a comprehensive induction and lots of daily guidance so you can quickly learn some basic skills and build on them. You will be working with a team of professionals who will be positive role models, provide directions and most importantly the opportunity for you to shine.
As part of the Kool Kidz professional image, all educators will be expected to wear a uniform at all times which is provided upon employment.
Kool Kidz has many programs that recognise those individuals who go above and beyond our expectations. These range from staff member of the month receiving movie tickets etc, staff member of the year with great weekends away etc. We are currently exploring more reward systems that recognise and encourage the best from our team.

In many homes and early childhood settings, the act of apologising is often seen as a necessary step toward repairing relationships and teaching social responsibility.
In our rapidly evolving, ever unpredictable world, how do we ensure our early learning settings provide children with the education they need to thrive?
