Located in Avenal, Invercargill, our small, welcoming centre provides education and care for children aged 2-5 years. With a mixed-age learning environment and smaller group sizes, we create a warm, home-like atmosphere where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive.

  • Build positive relationships with children, whānau, and colleagues
  • Support learning experiences and centre activities
  • Contribute to a positive team culture and daily centre operations


Permanent position: 25 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility to accommodate school hours.


What We're Looking For


An ECE qualification is not required, but experience working with children under five and a genuine passion for supporting their learning and development is essential.


Why BestStart?


  • Discounted childcare
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities
  • Subsidised health insurance (eligibility criteria apply)
  • Free flu vaccinations
