Learning Programs

Our commitment to early education

At Jack & Jill Early Learning, we believe in giving our children the best start in life by providing them with intentionally designed, play-based educational opportunities to develop their minds at this crucial stage of life. Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, which frames childhood through the interconnected concepts of belonging, being, and becoming.

Our program is truly child-led, designed to follow the natural curiosity and imagination of each young learner. Here, children explore their interests at their own pace, asking questions, experimenting, and creating in ways that are meaningful to them. Intentional teaching, guided by children’s interests, supports and extends their discoveries, helping them deepen understanding and build new skills. Flexible spaces and open-ended materials invite not only imaginative play but also collaboration, helping children develop social awareness, empathy, and communication skills. Sustainable practices are woven throughout the environment, encouraging respect for nature, care for the community, and thoughtful decision-making. By placing children at the centre of their learning, we cultivate confident, compassionate, and curious minds ready to explore the world with both wonder and responsibility.

Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain development occurs before the age of five. With this in mind, we have carefully designed our curriculum to maximize these critical early learning years, placing strong emphasis on nurturing relationships. By fostering meaningful connections between peers, educators, and the broader community, children develop the social and emotional foundations that support cognitive growth, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Growing Minds, Growing Skills

0-2 year olds
Our experienced educators build secure attachments that give babies confidence to explore. Through sensory-rich experiences and responsive interactions, we encourage curiosity, communication, and physical development at each child’s individual pace.

2-5 year olds
Our mixed-age setting allows children to develop at their own pace while learning from peers at different stages. Younger children focus on language, physical confidence, and social skills, while older children engage with literacy, numeracy, and self-regulation skills essential for school readiness.

Supporting Every Child's Journey

At Jack & Jill, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in our learning environment. We actively partner with Wanslea for both Inclusion Support Funding and Early Childhood Approach services, ensuring we can provide appropriate resources and adaptations for children with diverse needs. Our commitment to inclusive practice extends beyond our walls through established relationships with local speech therapists, child health nurses, the Peel child development team, and the Dudley Park child & parent centre. These connections allow us to create seamless support networks around your child, collaborating with specialists while maintaining our warm, nurturing environment where all children belong and flourish together.
