123 4Kids Karalee is a 79-place centre providing quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

Our thoughtfully designed spaces create a true home away from home — a warm, nurturing environment where children, families, and educators feel valued and supported.

Our vision is to create and build a caring community that supports children and their families in the vital years before school. We believe that every child deserves an education that lays the foundation for lifelong learning and success.

• Build strong, respectful relationships with families and the wider community

• Ensure compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and quality standards

• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth

You’ll be supported by a collaborative management team and have the opportunity to shape the service’s success while growing your own professional journey.

You are a confident, compassionate, and experienced leader who thrives on building connections and guiding others. You demonstrate initiative, professionalism, and a deep understanding of what quality early education looks like in practice.
