Our childcare and Junior Kindergarten centres are warm, friendly, bright, and bustling with creativity.

The JKs (as they are affectionately known) are unique places for children to learn, grow and play. We believe it is important for children to know they are in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

​

All of our educators are certified Early Childhood Educators or Early Childhood Educator Assistants. Our educators work collaboratively as a team to encourage appropriate behaviours and lead by example for the children. We believe in open, courteous communication between educators, children and their families.
