Available Positions at Bingara Gorge Community Preschool

More about the centre

Right now, we’re looking for superstars for our Bingara Gorge Community Preschool - an ‘Exceeding NQS’ rated service in Wilton, Wollondilly Shire.

Our preschool offers a unique early childhood education and care service, catering to children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. We have a Toddler Room (0-2), an Early Learning Room (2-3), and three rooms for children aged 3-5, one of which will be a term-only preschool room starting in April 2025.

What makes Bingara Gorge Community Preschool truly special is the strong sense of community that families become a part of when their children attend our service. We take pride in building meaningful relationships with both children and their families.

The preschool is a modern, purpose-built facility featuring large, open plan play spaces. We also have two expansive outdoor environments. Excursions are an integral part of our curriculum, with regular outings to local community spots. For example, children may visit the park to play on the equipment, walk to the nearby Woolworths Metro, or take pram walks around the neighbourhood with our toddler group.

Our goal is to provide inclusive environments that foster play-based learning. We offer individualised programs in each room, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths, skills, and interests are catered to. Program planning begins with each child’s initial interests, which are then further developed by their dedicated educator.

About the team

Our team at Bingara Gorge Community Preschool is made up of passionate and experienced educators. We are a diverse group, with some team members new to the early childhood education profession, while others bring over 30 years of experience working with children.  At Bingara, we pride ourselves on being a fun, supportive, and committed team, where teamwork is one of our greatest strengths. When challenges arise (as they often do), we embody a "I'm here for you" attitude, always supporting one another.

Recognising the diverse needs of our team, we understand the importance of work-life balance and flexibility. We make it a priority to create flexible working arrangements that cater to both our dedicated educators and the needs of the service.

As early childhood professionals, we take our role very seriously. Families have praised our team for going above and beyond, demonstrating passion and dedication in everything we do.
