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.

Incursions & excursions: Regular involvement within the community, including celebrations of diversity, sustainability, wellbeing, and the environment. Children are involved in events such as Harmony Week, Clean Up Australia Day, Hinamatsuri (Japan’s Girls Day), yoga, visits to the park and much more.

Art and music program: Music helps children develop intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and literacy skills. It helps the body and mind work together. 

Sports program: Allows young children to develop gross motor skills like running, jumping, throwing and climbing. For older children the sports program introduces them to the concepts of hand-eye coordination, teamwork and sportsmanship. Children participating in sports make lasting friendships, develop communication skills faster, feel a sense of community and learn respect for their playmates.

STEAM program: The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) program nurtures curiosity, intelligence, motor, numeracy and literacy skills. It incorporates materials, toys and equipment that children like to play with, to help them grow big ideas and understand fundamental concepts.

Children develop and learn at their own pace and the educators at Jigsaw Childcare and Kindergarten ensure expectations for children’s development are specific to each child, their unique experiences and individual backgrounds. The educators will support the children’s development by giving them the opportunity to choose their own experiences.

The qualified educators play an important role in shaping children’s identities, giving them the skills to face life’s challenges. 

The Jigsaw Childcare and Kindergarten team ensures that a positive learning environment is created and help support the children to extend their learning by encouraging children to wonder, explore, test, predict, problem solve, negotiate, reflect, and research through play.

As Director of this wonderful Centre since it opened in June 2008, I feel it is like a home away from home. I feel as though I belong here as I love working with children. I love their spontaneity, love of life, watching them grow and achieve their milestones. 

I believe that all children have the right to feel safe, cared for and treated as individuals. As Educators we need to really know what makes the children in our care happy, comfortable and interested in their learning. I believe that Educators and families are in partnership together caring for these precious children. 

Sharing individual information together is so important for both families and children to feel safe in this child-centred environment. I am privileged to be leading a team of professionals who are dedicated to instilling a sense of belonging and self-value into children as well as preparing them for lifelong learning. I look forward to working with you and your children.

Jigsaw Childcare was the safest place with good learning environment for my son (Labib). He stayed in the childcare about 2 years and went a long way with his learning experience. His ability to interact with the world and make friends and express himself improved a lot. Big thanks to the educators Rose, Lieu, Tina and Ngoc for their hard work and professional care. We will always remember you.

I was so nervous sending my son to daycare. It’s such a stressful decision trusting someone with your child’s safety and happiness. Jigsaw made that transition such a positive one. I have been thrilled with the care and attention they have given my son. From Renee and Victoria at the front to the room educators Lisa and Shirley everyone has been wonderful. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to send our son to Jigsaw.
