Everything you need to know about our culture
Your child will be cared for by our team of early childhood educators, kindergarten teachers, room leaders, chefs, allied health staff, and centre leaders.
Across our three Choklits centres, we have more than 120 team members who work together to help children feel safe, happy, and ready to learn. We want every child to be known by name, by need, and by heart.
Our team is kind, skilled, and full of care. Many of our educators have been with Choklits for many years. This helps children build trust with the same warm faces day after day.
We also keep learning. As educators, we set the example. We show children that learning does not stop when you grow up. We learn, reflect, and grow every day too.
Yes. Our team includes qualified early childhood educators, kindergarten teachers, room leaders, chefs, allied health staff, and specialist program leaders.
But great care is not only about a certificate. It is also about warmth, trust, skill, and heart. That is why we invest in our people through training, mentoring, and daily support.
We train our team through Choklits Academy, our own learning and training platform.
Choklits Academy helps our educators keep building their skills in child safety, learning, play, care, communication, leadership, and family support. This means your child is cared for by people who keep learning and growing.
Choklits Academy is our training platform for the Choklits team. It helps our educators and leaders learn in a clear, steady, and useful way.
Through Choklits Academy, our team can keep improving their practice. It supports new team members, growing educators, room leaders, and future leaders. It is one way we make sure our team feels ready, strong, and supported.
Training matters because children need care that is safe, calm, and thoughtful. Young children learn best when educators know how to build trust, guide feelings, support play, and keep children safe.
When our team keeps learning, children benefit. Families benefit. Our whole Choklits community grows stronger.
We work hard to give children steady, trusted relationships. Many of our team members have been with Choklits for years, and this helps children feel safe and settled.
Familiar faces matter. When children know their educators, they can relax, join in, ask for help, and feel brave enough to learn new things.
Yes. We are proud of our long team tenure. Many Choklits educators have built long careers with us.
We have also awarded 25-year service awards, including to Sue Brewer, who was voted Melbourne’s Best Child Care Worker. This kind of loyalty says a lot about our team culture, our care, and the strong bonds built over time.
Long team tenure helps children feel safe. It also helps families feel at ease.
When educators stay, they get to know each child’s needs, likes, fears, strengths, and family story. This deep care helps us support children in a more personal way.
We guide children with care, calm, and respect. We help children name feelings, solve problems, take turns, and learn safe ways to be with others.
Our educators do not just tell children what to do. We model it. We show kindness, patience, and respect, so children can learn by watching us.
We see families as part of the team. You know your child best, and we value what you share with us.
Our educators talk with families, listen to concerns, share wins, and work with you when your child needs extra care or support. Strong care works best when home and Choklits work together.
We look for people who are kind, safe, curious, and open to learning. We want team members who care deeply about children and who want to grow in early childhood education.
Skills matter. Qualifications matter. But heart matters too. The best Choklits educators bring care, patience, and joy into each day.
Our team includes educators, room leaders, kindergarten teachers, early childhood teachers, chefs, allied health staff, specialist program leaders, mentors, and centre leaders.
Each role helps your child’s day run well. From learning and play to meals, safety, rest, and family support, our team works together for your child.
Choklits is a place where educators can build a real career. We support team members to learn new skills, take on more responsibility, and grow into leadership roles.
A team member might start as an educator, grow into a room leader, move into mentoring, or step into centre leadership. We want our people to feel proud of their future with us.
Yes. Choklits is a warm and supportive place to work for people who care about children and want to keep learning.
We offer strong team support, Choklits Academy training, career growth, mentoring, and a culture where people are seen and valued. If you want to do work that matters, Choklits may be the right place for you.
New educators can learn how to build strong bonds with children, plan play, support routines, guide behaviour, work with families, and grow as part of a team.
You will not be expected to know everything on day one. We support you as you learn. At Choklits, growth is part of the job.
Children learn by watching us. That is why our educators model kindness, respect, calm words, safe choices, and a love of learning.
We tell children that learning is for life. Then we show them. We keep training, asking questions, sharing ideas, and growing every day.
