Educational Leader - Glebe

\n
\n

When my educators keep wondering, I keep discovering.

\n
\n

They notice what I enjoy.

\n
\n

They follow my questions.

\n
\n

They make space for my culture, my ideas, my voice and my way of learning.

\n
\n

They see I am not just playing. I am thinking, testing, imagining, moving, feeling and growing.

\n
\n

At Only About Children Glebe , you can help guide that kind of practice.

\n
\n

We're looking for a reflective, inspiring and practice-focused Educational Leader .

\n
\nAbout our Glebe campus \n
\n

At Glebe , my day feels warm, interesting and full of character. I arrive at a beautifully renovated old building on Bridge Road, close to parks, cafés, buses and the creative Inner West around me. The building feels homely and special, with spaces that help me settle and feel known.

\n
\n

I learn in six indoor spaces and play outside with sandpits, gardens, a bike track and a vegetable patch . I can build, read, imagine, explore and practise school readiness. This is a place where I can feel safe, seen and ready for my next big step, with community life all around me.

\n
\n

You're The Difference

\n
\n

At OAC, they say You're The Difference .
