Registered ECE Teacher | House of Wonder Chartwell by Busy Bees

NZ - Registered Teacher

Where curiosity has room to breathe, and tamariki are met with aroha.

Do you love the spark in a child’s eyes when an idea lands?
At House of Wonder Chartwell, we follow those sparks. We listen, we slow down, we notice. Our days are woven from small wonders and nurturing care, guided by Te Whāriki and animated by play.

About us:

House of Wonder Chartwell is part of Busy Bees Aotearoa, a nationwide whānau that backs its people to grow. Here, every child is a taonga and every kaiako is supported with real resources, mentoring, and PLD. We are Reggio Emilia inspired. Natural light, open-ended materials, and a calm environment invite exploration and collaboration. Kaiako walk alongside tamariki as facilitators, helping ideas grow from hands and hearts into language, drawings, structures, and stories. We step outside often for bush walks that ground us in Papatūānuku, and we visit the library to nourish early literacy and community connection. Strong partnerships with whānau hold it all together.

About you:

You bring current ECE or Primary NZ teacher registration, a warm, steady presence, and energy for the joyful work of early learning. You are confident with planning and assessment. You notice the quiet moments as much as the big milestones. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships, and are committed to responsive, culturally inclusive practice

The work:

Create thoughtful provocations. Hold space for collaboration. Contribute to learning stories and kaupapa that reflect each child’s voice. Keep safety and wellbeing close. Partner with whānau so every learner feels seen and supported.

• Monthly staff wellbeing budget and access to EAP services

• Induction, mentoring and meaningful PLD opportunities
