About the Business
Welcome to Gumboots Early Learning Jacksons Hill, a privately owned and operated institution located in Sunbury, Australia. Our founders, Sandra Hallo and Emma Lamendola, have a shared vision to create centers that go above and beyond expectations. We are passionate about providing beautiful learning environments, high quality pedagogy, sustainability, health, wellbeing, and exploring and learning within the local community. At Gumboots, we consider our staff, children, and families as part of our extended family.
As a family-owned and operated institution, we, along with our experienced team of educators, are committed to providing exceptional, high quality care and education for children in our communities. Our modern and welcoming home-like environment offers quality care for children from six weeks to school age, including an accredited 3 and 4-year old kindergarten program.
At Gumboots Early Learning, we believe in a play-based learning curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia Learning Approach. Our curriculum is guided by our center's philosophy and the Early Years Learning Framework. Our indoor play spaces are designed to be welcoming, engaging, and well-resourced, allowing children to explore, learn, and express their creativity.
We also provide well-planned and designed outdoor playgrounds that incorporate natural materials and offer inviting play spaces. These spaces include mud play areas, sand pits, a mud kitchen, sensory and water play, allowing children to explore, engage, and, most importantly, have fun.
In addition, our institution features a well-appointed and fully equipped "Art Room" where children can use their imagination and create their very own masterpieces using a mix of new and recycled materials. We also prioritize nutrition and offer freshly cooked, nutritious meals designed by a nutritionist and prepared daily in our commercial kitchen by our cook.
At Gumboots, we believe in incorporating nature into our daily activities. Our edible gardens encourage children to participate in the care, planting, and harvesting of herbs and vegetables. These fresh ingredients can then be incorporated into our menu and our "garden to kitchen" program.
Furthermore, we provide a comfortable and welcoming parent lounge filled with resources and complimentary coffee, ensuring that parents feel supported and included in their child's learning journey.
At Gumboots Early Learning Jacksons Hill, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care and education in a nurturing and stimulating environment. Join our extended family and experience the difference that Gumboots can make in your child's early years.

Reviews
"I have to express how incredibly grateful I am to have my son in Gumboots. My child and I had a very traumatic experience at a different centre, which we had to pull him out of very hastily for his safety. We were also new to the area at that time so we had to scramble to organise daycare tours to find somewhere suitable to place him. My husband first got in touch with Gumboots and we had the most warm and welcoming tour at the centre with Hayley. We visited the grasshoppers room and it was meticulously clean and organised. I spoke to Liz the room lead at that time and she so patiently listened to all our concerns, and immediately put our minds at ease. This was our first impression. In our second year at gumboots, the staff have been so consistently kind, warm and loving towards the kids. Always friendly and looking to connect with the parents. The front desk is always organised and responsive. We have been through a couple of centres and Gumboots by far wins hands down in the immediate comfort and feeling of trust they give us. I drop my kid off and never have to worry that he's not having a good time or being looked after. They are constantly organising trips and experiences as part of their kinder program and updates are available daily on the app. Under their charge, my quiet and reserved son has blossomed into a kind, empathetic and gentle little creature that has gained so much more confidence in his time there with his little buddies, doing all the fun things with 'Natty' (Natalie the educator) his best mate. If you are looking for a service to care for your younglings and have your mind completely at ease, look no further than Gumboots."
"We moved to Gumboots mid-term and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They have a great range of learning activities and I love they they have a bush kindie program. Highly Recommend"
"What an absolute jackpot to find kind hearted, super dedicated and caring staff in Gumboots. Their attention to every single child’s requirement is absolutely commendable. Starting from the Director Shelly, Karen and Hayley at reception to Emma, Steph, Rachel and Manmohan in caterpillars room. They all deserve a round of applause for their incredible work. Keep up the good work and we are looking forward to send our second child in the best care Sunbury has to offer. Thanks and Regards An overthinking mum Chanchal."
"I cannot express the comfort and love this centre provides my family, especially our son, Kacey. Every educator and staff member at the centre are super friendly and welcoming to all of the children and their families. A extra big thank you to the super star Jess for being our Kacey’s favourite person!"
"I recently moved my son over to Gumboots Jacksons Hill and he absolutely loves it. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are amazing and the staff are so supportive and genuine. Gumboots Early Learning provide a fantastic indoor/outdoor routine, which is exactly what my energetic boy needs!"
