Jacaranda

Our Jacaranda Room provides high quality care and education for children between 18 months and 3 years. Ratios for this age group are 1:5 (or 1:4 for Under 2’s)

The room is set up to provide self-help opportunities for developing toddlers within a safe environment. We have a strong commitment in supporting children’s holistic growth and development.

Children in the Jacaranda room are becoming familiar with the world-around them and learning important skills that will develop their social resilience. Learning to talk and communicate effectively with Educators and peers is a vital milestone for children in this age group.

Open environments including inside and outside play, allow children to have choice about the space they are in. Whether it be running around the large yard,  engaging in sand and water play or playing quietly with peers in the home corner inside, there is something for every child.

Educators support the Jacaranda children to begin to develop their self-help skills, learn social and emotional resilience and make friends.

Individual children’s needs are met through regular communication with families and keeping up to date with individual needs.
