Jigsaw Childcare

Possums Place and Cheeky Monkeys

The toddler rooms create a social environment with group activities, dancing and fun learning activities which foster the children’s overall development. The educators in the toddler rooms ensure your child has a chance to practice their social skills, like sharing, taking turns, as well as understanding their emotions. 

Children explore a range of activities based on their interests to further develop their competence and confidence in areas of motor development, social skills, independence skills, language skills and critical thinking skills.

Jigsaw Childcare and Kindergarten has two large rooms especially designated for their toddlers. Inside these rooms are large wooden toys to assist with imaginative play, such as a kitchenette, washing machine, and a Coles Little Shop play area. There are quiet corners with cushions for quiet reading, plenty of tables for group learning, and heaps of toys.

Outdoors, the Possums, Crayons and Monkeys have their own outdoor play area equipped with an age-appropriate playground, climbing equipment, large sandpit, shaded play areas, swings, cushioned places to read in the shade, cubby house, teepees, vegetable garden, obstacle courses, and plenty of outdoor toys.

Kinder Blue, Kinder Red and Kinder Green

In the kindergarten rooms at Jigsaw, the educators incorporate a school readiness program into the curriculum alongside the Early Years Learning Framework. The school readiness program prepares children for the transition to school by developing their competence and confidence in the areas of motor development, social skills, independence skills, language skills and the ability to challenge bias. 

The kindergarten works closely with the local schools to ensure the best program is provided for the children. Jigsaw Childcare and Kindergarten includes Government funded three year old and four year old kindergarten.

The three kindergarten rooms are large with natural wooden furniture and equipment as well as floor-to-ceiling windows to let in natural light. There is age appropriate shelving, furniture and toys to assist with learning.

Outdoors, Kinder Red, Kinder Blue and Kinder Green have their own play area with a large wooden playground, cubbyhouse, outdoor equipment, obstacle course, two large sandpits, swings, shaded and cushioned areas for outdoor reading, climbing frames, and outdoor tables under sun shades for learning and group activities.
