My husband and Myself, made the decision to take our toddler 2.3yrs old out of a home care facility around September 2025. His time so far being enrolled in Jimboomba Early Education center has proven to be a best choice we could have made for our son. Not only is he developing astronomically with his communication, numerical and vocabulary levels, but he is also greatly becoming a well-mannered and mature little toddler due to their teachings and guidance. We have a very active outdoor child who exceled at fine and gross motor skills since he was a baby but was slow to absorb the above-mentioned skill until his attendance to this facility.<br><br>He is also a very shy child when it comes to making friends, being around new people or crowds, but has made some great friends and companions and loves to enlighten both his father and me about his day, who he's played with and what he did.<br><br>Being an active daredevil that I know he is, especially when he is comfortable and feels safe, I'm happy to know that if he does anything like trip over and hurt himself (like his mother, he does have two left feet) that I am informed and notified upon collection and also called directly.

At Community Kids Jimboomba, your child will benefit from the QLD ‘Free Kindy’ Government-approved program as part of our enhanced learning program. Our Kindergarten program will support your child’s learning, development, and well-being for now, at school and beyond. We tailor our Kindergarten program across:
The added benefits of our Kindergarten program include:
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
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 through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory 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, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers 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 skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten 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 has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and 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 Kindergarten children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Kindergarten 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, are supported through group learning experiences. 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. Our goal in the Kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Ellie is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Ellie is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Ellie has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Ellie a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Ellie and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Ellie’s favourite book.
Morning
Josh is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Josh is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Josh identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Josh is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Josh is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Josh picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Josh and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Josh enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Josh is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Josh’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Charlotte is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Charlotte and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Charlotte is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Charlotte sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Charlotte takes part in the centre’s sports program. Charlotte loves sports. Sports helps Charlotte improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Charlotte is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Charlotte and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Our centre chef prepares and cooks 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 across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.
Hi, my name is Amy, and I am the Centre Manager here at Community Kids Jimboomba. I am passionate about nurturing children’s curiosity, confidence and love of learning, while supporting their social and emotional development.
I began my career in long day care in 2010 as an assistant educator before moving into the out-of-school hours care sector. I have also worked as a Teacher Aide in both primary and high school settings, supporting students across a wide range of ages and learning needs. I returned to long day care in 2019 as a Lead Educator and progressed into leadership roles, including Assistant Centre Manager and Educational Leader. I joined Community Kids Jimboomba in May 2025 and remain deeply passionate about early childhood education.
Throughout my career, I have learned that every child is a capable and unique learner who develops at their own pace. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued and supported through strong, trusting relationships. This guides my child-centred, play-based approach, where I take the time to understand each child’s interests, strengths and individual needs.
I am passionate about nurturing children’s curiosity, confidence and love of learning, while supporting their social and emotional development. I believe early childhood education and care provides children with meaningful learning experiences, social connections and guidance from trained educators, complementing the learning that happens at home.
I am proud to lead a dedicated and caring team who put children first. Building strong relationships with families is central to my practice, and I value open communication, collaboration and working in partnership with families to support each child’s learning journey.

We couldn’t be happier with Community Kids Jimboomba and the care our daughter receives there. All of the staff are phenomenal and genuinely care about the children. ❤️<br><br>A special thank you to Amy, the Centre Director, who is always so quick to respond to any questions or queries I have.

Both of my boys absolutely love it here and are thriving developmentally! Staff are always so friendly and fantastic at pick up and drop off times!
Mr B
Our Daughter loves the nursery there. Always get updates through out the day via the app. We viewed most of the centres around the area andfrom when we opend the door we felt a good vibe. The floors was clean the centre was clean. All staff are great. The only downfall of this centre is no cameras but I believe its a near future plan. 5⭐️

I would highly recommend this daycare as they go above and beyond for the kids to ensure they cater to each child's individual and specific needs. They have a great way of making children feel safe and offer great nutritional meals to support the growth of the kids. If you're interested in a friendly, multicultural and understanding school environment where your child will thrive, definitely looking into enrolling them at community kids Jimboomba.
