#Grove Culture

Our family-like environment is at the very core of our culture and is our biggest asset. Our centres are not just a place of work for our educators, but a strong community that extends from the children and their families through to our centre teams. We’re one big happy family!

No two days are the same at The Grove Academy. “Having fun” is one of our values and creativity and playfulness is encouraged.

We are an inclusive and diverse workplace that embraces and celebrates our differences. We believe this encourages collaboration and innovation as educators have the confidence to express themselves and ideas. Most importantly it gives our educators a sense of belonging to our Grove family.

Our Values

Team TGA Expo

Grove Wellness

We like to practice what we preach, so we strive to have a holistic workplace and place a big value on the wellbeing our educators.

We believe that when you are the healthiest version of yourself, your productivity sky rockets.

We encourage high employee morale by making sure our employees feel appreciated and valued. Some of our wellness initiatives include one free ‘Wellbeing Day” off per year, team bonding days, nutritious meals and snacks, fitness and mindfulness activities and community service projects.

Eat Well

We provide regular healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks because we recognise the importance of nutrition and its effect on overall health and wellness.

Be Well

We support physical wellbeing by offering a range of active equipment within the centre and partnering with external health organisations from the local community for all staff members.

Feel Well

We reward our staff with ongoing experiences; including but not limited to bonding days, inservices, massages and other incentives to promote mindfulness, productivity and holistic wellbeing.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Grove Academy acknowledges the deep connections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to Country. We pay our respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land our centres are on.

As a dedicated group of early childhood services, we honor and are inspired by the rich traditions of storytelling and education within First Nations cultures of Australia. We are committed to learning from these traditions and incorporating them into our educational practices.
