Join Us as a Waldorf Kindergarten Assistant
Young children are naturally curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world. In a Waldorf kindergarten, we honour this early stage of development by creating a nurturing, rhythmic, and wonder-filled environment.

Your role will be hands-on and heart-centred—helping guide children through their daily rhythms, encouraging their social and emotional growth, and assisting in activities that engage their senses and imagination.
You don't need prior experience in Waldorf education—just a deep love for working with young children and a willingness to learn. Here, you'll have the opportunity to observe, assist, and grow as an educator, while being part of a caring, collaborative team. Training and mentorship will be provided.

- Creative, hands-on skills such as storytelling, handcrafts, music, or movement are a plus!
This is more than a job—it's a chance to be part of a school that cherishes warmth, connection, and the magic of early childhood. If you love working with young children and want to support their growth in a nurturing, holistic environment, we'd love to hear from you.
