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.

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 Jade, and I am the Centre Manager here at Jellybeans Morley. I started working in early learning in 2016 and have been with G8 Education since. I joined the team at Jellybeans Morley in April 2024 I hold a diploma in early childhood education and care.

I was motivated to choose this career path after witnessing the positive impact early childhood education had on my children. Throughout my early childhood education and care career, I have learned that children are incredibly curious, imaginative, and eager to learn. Their minds are like sponges, absorbing information and experiences at a rapid pace. This understanding has guided my teaching style to be interactive, engaging, and child-centred. Observing and listening to children has also taught me the importance of adapting my teaching approach to meet their needs and abilities. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. I am dedicated to nurturing meaningful connections with children. Establishing a strong bond creates a secure environment for children to explore learning and emotional growth.

I always tell families that children learn best through play and social interaction. Enrolling in an early childhood education and care centre allows children to enhance their social skills by engaging with peers of the same age group. This environment helps them nurture their emotional intelligence and provides abundant chances for creativity and imaginative play. We have a long-standing team of experienced educators with diverse backgrounds. Our educators bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our learning environment, providing our children with a well-rounded and comprehensive educational experience. Our educators are passionate about helping children succeed and are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive learning community.

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for open communication by actively listening to families’ needs, concerns, and feedback. Additionally, showing empathy and offering assistance when needed can strengthen these connections.

I look forward to welcoming your family into our community.
