🐨 Koala Room (6 Weeks - 2 Years)

Our Koala Room has been thoughtfully designed to provide the highest level of comfort, care, and learning for our youngest children. This beautiful bespoke environment features soaring high ceilings and an abundance of natural sunlight, creating a warm, calm, and welcoming space where babies and toddlers can feel safe, secure, and at home.

Children enjoy direct access to our natural outdoor learning environment, where they can explore a dedicated yard complete with a sandpit, established trees, and nature-inspired play spaces. These carefully designed outdoor areas encourage curiosity, sensory exploration, and a connection with the natural world from an early age.

Our premium sleep rooms have been created with rest and wellbeing in mind, featuring cosy cots and beautiful furnishings that provide a peaceful, home-like atmosphere. We recognise the importance of quality sleep and work closely with families to ensure each child's individual sleeping needs are met.

At Jane's Place, we understand that every child is unique. Our nurturing educators are dedicated to building strong partnerships with families and take the time to closely mirror each child's home routine, including feeding, sleeping, and care practices. This personalised approach helps children settle confidently into care while providing families with peace of mind knowing their child is receiving the highest standard of individualised care and attention.

Through responsive relationships, sensory-rich experiences, and play-based learning opportunities, our Koala Room provides a secure foundation where children can grow, develop, and thrive during these important early years. 🌿💛

Our Wombat Room has been thoughtfully designed to support the exciting stage of development where toddlers become increasingly independent, confident, and engaged in the world around them. Filled with natural light and featuring beautiful bespoke furnishings, the room provides a welcoming environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, and grow.

With direct access to our nature-inspired outdoor learning spaces, children can move freely between indoor and outdoor environments throughout the day. The outdoor area features natural elements, open-ended play experiences, and opportunities for children to develop their physical skills while fostering a love of nature and exploration.

During these important years, our educators focus on helping children build their independence, confidence, and sense of belonging. Through meaningful interactions and play-based learning experiences, children are encouraged to make choices, develop self-help skills, and establish positive friendships with their peers. Our educators carefully support social and emotional development, helping children learn to communicate, cooperate, and thrive within a group setting.

A strong emphasis is placed on continuity of care, with our Wombat and Kookaburra Room educators working closely together to ensure transitions between rooms are smooth and familiar. Children moving through the service are supported by educators who know them well, creating a seamless journey throughout their early learning years.

Our Kookaburra Room provides a stimulating and engaging environment where children are encouraged to become confident, capable learners as they prepare for their transition to primary school. Purposefully designed with beautiful natural light, inviting learning spaces, and direct access to our outdoor environment, the room inspires curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Children participate in our rich play-based curriculum, incorporating STEM learning, creative arts, music, yoga, dramatic play, literacy, numeracy, and collaborative projects. Our experienced educators thoughtfully extend each child's interests while fostering independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills.

As children move closer to starting school, our educators place additional focus on school readiness and social development. Through intentional teaching and group learning experiences, children develop essential skills including communication, emotional regulation, confidence, self-help skills, concentration, and the ability to work collaboratively with others. These foundational skills help ensure children feel well prepared and excited for their next educational journey.

Our Kookaburra educators work closely alongside the Wombat Room team, ensuring a seamless transition for children moving between rooms. By maintaining strong relationships with both children and families, we create a consistent and supportive pathway through each stage of their early learning experience, helping every child feel confident, secure, and ready to thrive. 🌿✨
