From their very first days to their last year before school, Jenny's ELC offers a continuous, connected learning journey — each program designed to meet children exactly where they are.
Our Nursery program is built around one principle: every baby deserves to feel completely safe, seen, and loved. We follow each infant's individual rhythm — feeding, sleeping, and play on their own schedule — while gently introducing them to the wonder of the world around them.
We use a primary educator model, meaning your baby is cared for by the same familiar faces every day. This consistency builds secure attachment and gives parents genuine peace of mind. Our nursery rooms are designed as calm, sensory-rich environments with natural timber, soft textiles, and carefully curated materials that invite exploration at each stage of development.
Enrolment note: Nursery places are limited and in high demand. We recommend enquiring as early as possible — many families join our waitlist before their baby is born.

The toddler years are a time of extraordinary discovery — language explodes, independence blossoms, and the world becomes endlessly fascinating. Our Toddler program is designed to honour this energy while providing the warm, predictable structure that young children need to feel secure.
Our educators follow children's lead. If a toddler is obsessed with trucks, we build language, counting, and problem-solving around trucks. If they're going through a big feelings phase, we slow down and work through it together. The EYLF guides our curriculum, but the children shape what each day actually looks like.
Enrolment note: Toddler places fill quickly, particularly for 2-day and 3-day enrolments. We recommend enquiring at least 3–6 months in advance.

Our Kinder program is delivered by qualified early childhood teachers and runs within our full-day care setting. Children don't need a separate kinder drop-off — their funded hours are built into the day they already know.
We offer both 3-year-old Kinder and 4-year-old Kinder, both government-funded through Victoria's Free Kinder program. The teacher-led program runs inside the same familiar environment your child already attends — same educators, same friendships, same routines. Projects are driven by what children are genuinely curious about, which means the learning goes deeper than a worksheet ever could.
Enrolment note: Both 3-year-old and 4-year-old Kinder are government-funded in Victoria through the Free Kinder program (up to 15 hours per week). Our integrated model means your child receives their funded kinder hours within our full-day program — no separate kinder drop-off required.

Across every program and every age group, these six principles guide how we plan, teach, and care.
Every child arrives knowing they are valued. We build a genuine sense of community where children feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and grow.
Our outdoor environments are designed as living classrooms. Children grow vegetables, care for animals, and develop a deep connection to the natural world.
Rich language experiences are woven through every part of the day — stories, songs, conversations, and print-rich environments that build confident communicators.
Art, music, movement, and dramatic play are not extras — they are core to how children make sense of the world and develop their unique voice.
We celebrate diversity in a practical way — through the stories we read, the languages we acknowledge, and the way we talk about difference. Children pick up on what adults model.
Physical health, emotional regulation, and mental wellbeing are embedded in everything we do — from nutritious meals to mindful moments and active outdoor play.
