Are you seeking a highly experienced and stable centre leadership along with an aligned philosophy where the number one priority is on children’s learning and needs? Over the last year, we have encountered the same challenges that the early childhood sector has faced. What sets Petit apart is that when an Educator explores other opportunities they find themselves drawn back to Petit Forest Hill.  We have asked our recently returned employees why they have chosen to come back and they have shared: "It is due to the Petit philosophy. I can see the value Petit place on educating children, and that aligns well with who I am and the type of education and care professional I want to be" - Diploma Educator, Forest Hill "I can be a better Educator here.
