Amaze Early Education aspires to be the best childcare (sic.) provider in Queensland, to be embedded in the community, and to operate for the benefit of all stakeholders. 

 

The broader vision operates under the acronym of R.E.S.P.E.C.T, standing for: 

 

• Relationships

When it comes to learning, Amaze believes that children should be able to express themselves through play based learning, using a variety of resources. Educators and teachers promote holistic development of children in terms of self-confidence, independence, organisation of thinking and the ability to work and communicate with others. 

 

What is the Amaze approach to educators’ identity and development? 

 

Educators at Amaze are paid above awards, and receive discounts to national retail outlets, access to an Employee Assistance Program, a staff referral program, discounted ECEC for their own children, supported study opportunities, and access to a relocation allowance.
