Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years

Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi, my name is Jade, and I am the Centre Manager here at Kindy Patch Tenambit. My teaching philosophy is centred around fostering positive relationships, ensuring that each child feels valued, supported, and inspired.

My journey in early childhood education began in 2016 as a trainee with G8 Education, and I have grown within the company ever since. I am deeply passionate about fostering a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

From a young age, I knew that early childhood education was the career path for me. There is nothing more fulfilling than being part of a child’s learning journey and building strong, meaningful relationships with them. Throughout my career, I have learned that no two children are the same. Each child has unique strengths, interests, and learning styles, which is why I believe in a flexible and responsive approach to education. My teaching philosophy is centred around fostering positive relationships, ensuring that each child feels valued, supported, and inspired. I embrace play-based learning, as it provides children with the opportunity to develop essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and independence.

While learning at home is important, a dedicated early learning centre offers structured programs designed to enhance each child’s development. At Kindy Patch Tenambit, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can grow and develop. Our play-based learning approach encourages children to explore, ask questions, and develop essential cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Our educators tailor experiences to support independence, curiosity, and resilience—helping children build the skills they need for school and beyond.

At Kindy Patch Tenambit, we are proud to have a strong, dedicated team with a diverse range of experience, from trainees to educators with over 20 years in the early childhood sector. Each team member brings unique perspectives and teaching styles, making every learning experience enriching and tailored to each child’s needs.

Building strong relationships with families is a key part of my role as Centre Manager. I believe in open communication, collaboration, and creating a welcoming community where families feel supported. I strive to be available and approachable, ensuring families feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, concerns, and aspirations for their child’s education. At Kindy Patch Tenambit, we value and respect the unique needs of every family, and we look forward to welcoming you into our community.

I look forward to welcoming you and your child to Kindy Patch Tenambit early education centre and embarking on this exciting learning journey together
