The Indoor Play & Learning Environments
Our centres are well-resourced, with specialised learning equipment that fosters and supports your child’s developing skills and interests.
The indoor environment has been divided into different learning spaces which allow children to develop their own strengths and abilities at an individual level, whilst being guided by their teachers.
The indoor play and learning environments provide the children with a secure place to carry out their learning and exploration while taking ownership of their environment.
Our Rooms
We have four specifically designed rooms catering to the ages and needs of the children:
The homely and nurturing environments initially focus on settling-in each child. This is a priority in the early days of your child’s care and will vary according to each child, and their needs. We believe a settled child is a relaxed child, allowing them to reach their potential while feeling fully supported in all aspects of their development. This fosters their own self-esteem and self-confidence.
This caring and relaxed environment enhances all key areas of your child’s development, and most importantly supports the development of friendships and empathy in a caring environment.
The interest-based/educator-guided programs that flow through the rooms are extended in the Wallaby Room which it is supported by our School Readiness Programs.
Across all rooms, we actively seek to support our children’s curiosity and expose them to opportunities to explore, investigate and experiment through our STEM Curriculum.
In addition, we offer an additional creative expression program. This program allows us to offer incursions where we invite specialists into the centre who may offer, but are not limited to, music, drama, yoga, specialist art programs and gross motor movement experiences.
The children may participate in excursions in all areas of interest to expand their everyday experiences and expose them to opportunities in the broader community.

Transitioning between rooms
At Jane’s place, we aim to ensure room transitions are a positive experience for your child.
Leading up to your child’s birthday, educators from both rooms begin to discuss and develop your child’s transition program. We will discuss and develop this transition period with you. This process will be guided by your child’s readiness to transition.
