Jacaranda Grove Preschool

Welcome to Jacaranda Grove Preschool! Located in Nelsons Plains, Australia, our preschool is a nurturing and homely institution dedicated to providing an educational environment for children to learn and grow. Our goal at Jacaranda Grove is to foster each child's unique talents, abilities, and development, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Our physical environment is designed to encourage children to participate in all areas of the Learning Framework and develop an understanding of their natural surroundings. With quality early childhood educators, a curriculum based on play and intentional teaching strategies, and small group sizes, Jacaranda Grove is the perfect place for your child to grow, develop, and prepare for both school and life.

As part of our preschool curriculum, we have a farmyard that houses chickens, sheep, alpacas, and soon, goats. We believe that animals bring an additional element to our center, allowing children to experience the enjoyment and responsibility animals bring.

Our spacious yard with natural grass provides plenty of room for children to run freely and enjoy movement activities. We also have pockets of the outdoor environment that allow for quiet and focused play for those who prefer a more peaceful setting with their friends.

One of the unique aspects of our preschool is our "bush kindy" approach. With ample space surrounding us, we take advantage of our surroundings and take small groups on bush walks on the adjoining 23 acres. We have a "secret garden" with logs where we can stop for a picnic lunch or snack, play games, or collect nature items for crafts or loose parts play. This integration of nature allows children to develop skills that may be unachievable in a traditional classroom setting.

We are currently accepting applications for children aged 2 to 6 years for 2022. If you are interested in securing a position, please complete a waiting list form online or visit us in person to have a look around and fill in a form. We look forward to meeting you soon!

But don't just take our word for it! Here's what some of our parents have to say about Jacaranda Grove Preschool:

"Jacaranda Grove is a wonderful preschool. Both my sons have loved it. It has a welcoming, fun, and stimulating environment - after all, how many preschools have their own farm animals? The staff are lovely too - so friendly, caring, and nurturing. As a parent, I always feel welcome. I couldn't be happier!"

"I have been so happy with my daughter's experience at Jacaranda Grove. The staff are welcoming and have been so caring and nurturing towards her. She loves the preschool farm, garden, and play area, and she has learned so much from the program. Jacaranda Grove is an impressive preschool, and my daughter has loved it."

"This has been our first year at Jacaranda Grove, and we would recommend it to anyone. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are fantastic. You can see your fees being reinvested into the center to make it better for our children. It's a shame we can only stay for two years!"

"Attending Jacaranda Grove is the first step in my children's journey of self-discovery and understanding their strengths. The opportunities to develop their creativity, test their physical abilities, and expand their curiosity of nature are offered in a safe, caring, and highly professional environment. The children leave the center with a great deal of confidence, making them 'school ready.'"

"I would recommend Jacaranda Grove to anyone. Our children have attended for the past seven years, and we feel lucky to have such a wonderful preschool close by. The staff are approachable, friendly, and excellent at what they do! They always have new ideas for activities, and no two days are ever the same. My son always has something special to tell us at the end of each day."
