Sesame Street website contains a toolkit to support parents during COVID-19 including access to hundreds of free Sesame Street e-books, sing- a- long songs, and tips for creating a new routine for “the new normal” and talking to children about COVID-19.
Hi Georgina,
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the recruitment of Centre Directors and Educators to join the expanding Nido family.
With so many open roles in the sector at the moment, I think we should be talking about the differences that really sets Nido apart. From my own experience, they are not always obvious from the outside, but when you get to meet the Nido family you really feel it.
Leaving my previous employer, who I was with for over 10 years, was not an easy decision. I had interviews with a few different companies, before finding my home at Nido.
I remember walking out of that initial interview, literally with tears in my eyes, I knew I had finally found what I had been looking for.
As you mentioned, honesty and integrity are critical and a given, our Services, resources and environments speak for themselves, and candidates merely need to look at our website to understand how engaging and wonderful they are.
We really need to focus more on what a Centre Director and an Educator will experience at Nido;
I am continually driven by our purpose;
To provide our Educators with the training, environment, motivation, and empowerment to deliver exceeding quality education to children, partnering with families, and giving children a voice and the opportunity to lead wonderful fulfilling lives.
I love that we seek to make quality early education available to everyone, regardless of their economic position. That we focus more on suburban children and advocate for their rights, Nido is truly a movement and not one to join without knowing you will need to put your heart on the line every single day.
Mary Oliver asked “What will you do with your one wild and precious life”, I cannot think of anything more fulfilling than what I get to do every day at Nido.
Kind regards,
Danika x
