COOL FROGS Early Childhood Education Where Early Childhood Education Actually Feels Like It Should SERVICE DIRECTOR | FULL-TIME Two positions available across two exciting locations: Willunga (established service, 1 year old) | Seaton (brand new service, just opened) Let’s Skip the Corporate Jargon We’re not going to tell you we’re “looking for a passionate leader to drive outcomes in a dynamic environment.” That’s not us. Cool Frogs ECE is growing, and we need two Service Directors to lead two of our services — one in Willunga that’s been running for a year with a fantastic team already in place, and one in Seaton that’s brand new and ready for the right person to shape from the ground up. We’re a non-corporate organisation. That means no drowning in red tape, no answering to a boardroom full of suits, and no micromanagement. We’ve built a beautiful culture at Cool Frogs, and we’re looking for someone who wants to be trusted to lead within it — with our full support behind you and a team of amazing educators beside you. What This Role Actually Looks Like Lead and manage the day-to-day operations of your service with confidence and care Build and nurture a culture where educators feel valued, supported, and inspired Maintain compliance and quality — not because someone’s breathing down your neck, but because you take pride in doing it right Be visible, approachable, and real with families, children, and your team Drive continuous improvement because you genuinely want to, not because a KPI told you to Bring fresh ideas and a growth mindset to everything you touch Two Services. Two Opportunities. Same Cool Frogs Spirit. Willunga — Our Willunga service is one year old and hitting its stride. The team is already incredible. What it needs is the right leader to take it to the next level. If you love walking into something good and making it great, this one’s for you. Seaton — Brand new. Just opened. This is a ground-floor opportunity to bring the Cool Frogs culture into a new space and help it flourish from day one. If you’re excited by the idea of nurturing something special from the very start, this one’s calling. Let us know which location excites you — or if you’re open to either, we’re happy to chat about the best fit. Who You Are At least 1 year of experience in a Service Director role (or similar leadership position in ECE) A relevant early childhood qualification (Diploma or above) Someone who leads with honesty, openness, and a willingness to learn No ego, no fakeness — just a genuine professional who wants to do great work An open personality — the kind of person people naturally trust and want to work with Zero tolerance for workplace politics and pretence — you keep it real What We Bring to the Table The trust and space to lead within a culture we’re genuinely proud of Up to 95% discount on childcare fees (conditions apply) — yes, you read that right Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for your well-being Ongoing training and professional development support A team of educators who are already incredible — you just need to lead them A non-corporate environment where your voice actually matters Sound Like You?
