Day One News

best team in childcare - day one elc educators - monique chelin pty ltd

We Are (Not) Hiring ;-)

October 4, 2025 | Day One News, Recruitment

We Are (Not) Hiring 😉

It is very rare in the childcare space to be confident that you have the very best people in the perfect positions at each of your centres…but that is where we find ourselves as the year draws to an end.  It ahs certainly been a challenging recruitment environment in years gone by, but we seem to have cracked the code for employee retention at Day One ELC Monique Chelin Pty Ltd.  Our teams are now simply growing in their chosen areas of professional development and confident that who we have on board will be with us, and by extension, with you, for the very long term.

We do reward our current team members for a variety of indicators and achievements throughout the year.  This is part of our Day One benefits that can be found here: https://dayoneelc.com.au/benefits-of-working-with-us/

These are some of the things we work really hard at as a team to make Day One ELC Monique Chelin Pty Ltd a truly rewarding place to work at:

Our team has told us in our regular team surveys that we offer a supportive, respectful, and inclusive culture with strong leadership, providing excellent work-life balance, growth opportunities (training, clear pathways), and fair compensation/benefits, all while fostering a joyful environment through community engagement, beautiful learning spaces, and recognition for staff making a meaningful impact on children’s development. 
Culture & Leadership
  • Supportive Team: A family-like atmosphere where educators feel valued, respected, and empowered to grow.
  • Inclusive Environment: Valuing diversity and ensuring everyone feels welcome, promoting empathy and acceptance.
  • Clear Vision & Purpose: A center with a strong mission and path forward makes work feel meaningful.
  • Effective Communication: Open dialogue builds trust, collaboration, and strong problem-solving.
  • Invested Management: Leaders like Monique Chelin who reinvest in people, offer support, and recognize contributions. 
Benefits & Growth
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible hours, (when we can!) and encouragement to take breaks to prevent burnout.
  • Career Development: Subsidized training, defined career pathways, and opportunities for advancement.
  • Financial Perks: Competitive pay, bonuses, staff discounts (e.g., childcare).
  • Recognition: Regular appreciation, theme days, staff parties, or rewards. 
Environment & Programs
  • Homely Learning Spaces: Environments designed for freedom, exploration, and to feel like a home away from home, not just for our children, but for our educators too.
  • Health & Safety Focus: Prioritizing the wellbeing of children, families, and staff through excellent hygiene and risk management.
  • Community Connection: Engaging with local businesses and families to build strong community ties. 
The “Why”
  • Meaningful Impact: The rewarding feeling of nurturing children and contributing to their crucial early development.
  • Fun & Joy: Experiencing “aha!” moments with children and engaging in joyful, creative activities. And yes! We love to have a laugh and a good time at work too!
