Keeo Kindergarten Relief

Join us today!

We aren't just another kinder relief agency. We do things differently and we truly care about all of our staff and clients.

At Keeo we understand that all our staff have unique circumstances, skillsets, work experience and individual needs. Our onboarding process ensures that we capture this and fully understand how to get the best results and provide the most rewarding work for all team members.

Keeo is engaged in local communities and is committed to building strong relationships with staff and clients based on trust, integrity and a shared vision for excellence in early childhood education.

As well as running Keeo, owner and operations manager Mel Prior Hocking teaches in sessional kindergarten. She has current experience and up to date knowledge of the needs and requirements of staff and kindergartens, and understands the joys and challenges that our teachers, educators, and clients face. Keeo provides the best environment for staff to work and grow their careers in. We are proud to reward their skills and experience by renumerating all Keeo employees with above VECTEA 2020 Award rates, while keeping our pricing cost to kindergartens competitive.

"Keeo has truly transformed how we manage our kinder staffing needs. Their relief staff are not only highly skilled but also bring warmth, enthusiasm, and a deep commitment to Early Childhood education.

With Keeo, we never have to worry - whether it's short notice or planned absences, their team ensures continuity of care and learning.

They've become an essential part of our community, helping us create a supportive and enriching environment for the children."

"Keeo are reliable, with excellent quality of Teachers and Educators. We have been using Keeo for our relief staff needs and they have consistently provided high-quality EC Teachers and Educators.

What sets Keeo apart from other agencies we've worked with is the efficient booking system, excellent communication and follow up. Mel is proactive in checking in with us to ensure the relief staff are meeting our needs and expectations. Keeo is a very reliable agency that we trust for our staffing needs.

Highly recommend Keeo!"

"We have been lucky enough to be introduced to Mel and her amazing team in 2023 when we were finding it difficult to fill relief vacancies with highly capable relief educators.

Since joining up with Keeo we have had the most amazing staff come through to support our team here at Surrey Hills preschool and have not had one person we could not recommend.

We have had a high need for agency staff and Mel and her team have been able to fill the positions every time. Their booking system is easy and very prompt especially when it's those 5:30am sick calls!"

- Surrey Hills Preschool

"Our kindergarten has found Keeo's booking process very easy to follow.

We know that Keeo have a rigorous selection process and only employ the best Teachers and Educators. As a result, the staff that they provide have been very professional and knowledgeable.

They follow up on customer satisfaction and as a community run kindergarten, we like to support community run small businesses."
