Looking to shape and guide young minds, work in a variety of roles in many locations—regional, rural or remote community, and love what you do? Early childhood education and care could be the perfect pathway for you.
If the footprint that you leave behind on this earth is that you have influenced the learning journey of one child and made a difference to the adult that they will become, then that is an amazing legacy to leave behind.’—Debbie, early childhood professional
Early childhood education and care is a growing and dynamic sector offering rewarding opportunities and clear pathways for advancement and personal growth.
If you have a strong desire to find a career that will provide personal enjoyment and satisfaction and make an impact, now is the time to pursue a career in early childhood, with qualified early childhood educators and teachers in high demand.
Here in Queensland, the majority of early childhood education and care services are privately owned or operated by a community organisation (for example, not-for-profit group or faith based). A small number of services are operated by government.
