What’s it like working at FROEBEL?
AI summary of recent reviews
Employees consistently praise the supportive and caring management team at FROEBEL, including directors and head office staff who are empathetic and genuinely invested in staff wellbeing. The collaborative team culture creates a warm, welcoming environment where colleagues support one another. Staff appreciate the excellent professional development opportunities, including leadership programmes and mentorship, as well as pay well above award and access to mental health support. FROEBEL's child-centred educational philosophy and strong sense of community are also highly valued by educators.
However, there are some operational considerations, such as working in large centres with many children, which can be busy at times, though extra staff support is typically provided. The structured daily routines can sometimes limit extended activity time with children, and some centres experience space limitations within building environments that may affect movement and outdoor learning, particularly during challenging weather conditions.

A great place to work, defined by empathetic and supportive management.
The good thingsFeel valued by both my team leader and by the management team, including the director, assistant director and HR. They are both supportive and empathetic. This was a huge motivator for me. This environment allows me to speak with the managers comfortably.
The challengesThere were typical daily challenges, but are generally manageable. More connections with other floors or rooms would be good.

Lucky to have worked along some brilliant educators with a focus on child-centred practice.
The good thingsThe opportunity to expand my passion in early childhood education, especially through the lens of STEM and child-centred practice. The support from my team and leaders to assist me in improving my practice
The challengesThe work culture is wonderful, more support from management on service operations would enhance the centre even more.

There are additional duties when it comes to the job.
The good thingsthree stars only for the families and children! If i could say anything else about what the good things were it was a handful of co-workers who made this position so worth it and their amazing care for the children at the centre I worked at.
I also loved the excursions - every week was tiring but to see the children in their element and the chance for educators to regulate out in nature was such an amazing experience to have. I also enjoyed the aboriginal immersion and the ongoing commitment to ensuring the children understood different cultures.
I mostly loved the team i worked with - their understanding, warmth and care through my time here. I can definitely say there were people who supported me, cared for me and often recognised when I needed help which was always such a relief.
The challengestread carefully - On one too many occasions, educators have been yelled at and or simply not trusted to do the work they needed to.
Like any service - the need for more staff is at an all time high. New educators had little to no experience which was always challenging.
AE was being taken away on multiple occasions, staff grievances were not dealt with professionally, management left the team to its own survival and expects practices to be upheld.
It's the lack of professionalism too - educators being yelled at, not being trusted, very toxic group chats, phones on floor, other staff being talked about.
