New Educators
No matter your experience or Early Learning knowledge, Wattle Tree and our team of Educators are here to help enhance your professional development.
Hands-on Admin
Wattle Tree's admin team handles the fees, payments, enrolments, and other paper work so you can save time and focus on the children.
Business Mentoring/Support
If starting a business sounds daunting, we can assist you every step of the way. From opening a business - to marketing - to dealing with customers - to your first pay cheque!
Educate Your Way
We acknowledge and support each Educator's desire to create their own Learning Program style. We can help lay the ground work and/or develop it further.
Unmatched Support
We are always on call for our Educators, in need of assistance. We pride ourselves in our swift email replies, scheduled visits, and quick relief support.
Online Resources
We offer our Educators exclusive online training, resources, and workshops so they can style their program their way.

Educator Fees
Fee rates
Our Educators decide their own fee schedule. They are self-employed and work under contract with Wattle Tree.
Standard: $11.00 - 12.00
Non-Standard: $12.00 - 13.30
Casual Care: $12.20 - 15.50
​
Rates are calculated per hour of care.
Admin Levy of $2.00 is included.
Full Fee Payments
"Our Educators are paid fortnightly regardless of parent debts, ensuring guaranteed income.
They simply submit attendances and Wattle Tree takes care of the rest."

Director
Sessional charges
Educators charge fees as a per day "session" amount, which entitles families to use any part of the set hours within that session.
"As a result,
families pay for the
entire session amount,
including on public holidays and child absent days."
