Our
Philosophy
At Jumping Jacks Community Preschool, we follow the Early Years Learning Framework to support children's growth in five key areas: identity, community connection, wellbeing, learning confidence, and communication. We create a nurturing environment where children can express themselves, build relationships, develop resilience, and learn through play. Our evolving philosophy is shaped by research, staff development, community knowledge, and family feedback.
