We are Big Fat Smile!

We're a not-for-profit that plays a pivotal role in the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia. We’re early education enthusiasts, with 40+ community preschools and fun clubs, and a variety of community and inclusion programs. Each one dedicated to giving every child the best start in life. And each well-respected for the work it does.  

 It’s a super important role and one our educators wear with pride. They work hard to live our values of safety, leadership, integrity, inclusion, child-centric and connection, which guide everything we do.  

On top of this, we are creating an environment where everyone is welcomed, valued and respected – regardless of their differences. Where we can work together in courageous and imaginative ways. Where we can lead the industry through excellence and advocate the important role our educators play. And everything we do centres on the child.  

Because of our size, there are big opportunities for those who want to go further. You’ll find meaningful career paths with lots of promotions across our community preschools and long day care centres, and our Fun Clubs, offering out of school hours and vacation care. And with professional learning and growth at the heart of everything we do, you’ll have the support to progress anywhere from Trainee up to Teacher or Director level, or into our community service programs, inclusion or head office roles, just like Peta did.  

More than a job, this is an opportunity to make a child’s world a better, brighter place. Join us and you’ll be smiling too, when you make more of a difference.
