Who We Are
Kids Jungle Long Day Care and Preschool
The way we teach in the early years must always be done with an eye to the future learning and wellbeing of our children as they travel through their schooling. We want children to develop skills that will last a lifetime, upon which a life will grow and thrive.
Kids Jungle Long Day Care and Preschool provides a vibrant and stimulating world of education and care. Our focus is on developing each child’s self-discovery, social awareness and interest in learning.
The nurturing environment of Kids Jungle provides children with an effortless transition to our School Readiness Program, which commences the year before children leave for Kindergarten.
Our experienced educators aim to provide children with access to learning about their health and wellbeing, lay the foundations for early literacy and numeracy skills, provides access to technology and facilitate opportunities for community and social interactions.
At Kids Jungle, children will participate in investigations as co-creators of understanding.They will develop a sense of wonder about the world and an ability to contribute to the generation of knowledge.
The focus at Kids Jungle is on harnessing the unique spirit of each child to ensure that they come to see learning as a worthwhile activity with its own rewards. Children will engage in a wide range of activities designed to promote inquisitiveness, creativity, imagination, and self-reflection.

Our Team
Caroline Gawargy
As the Centre Director, I believe that the early years are the most influential in extending and enriching children’s development and education. I believe in a program that has a foundation of learning through play, both indoors and outdoors, in which children are encouraged to make choices and extend their own learning.
I also recognise the importance of families, being the primary influence in a child’s life. I aim to continually develop and maintain collaborative and open partnerships with all families and as such promote an open-door policy.
At Kids Jungle I have a passionate and dedicated team of educators who are invested in each child’s wellbeing. Their constant positivity and hard work makes Kids Jungle an incredible working environment. We work together to form a team who respect, value each other and share knowledge and skills to provide an environment where children feel safe but are also challenged.

I believe that all children are all individuals. Each have their own personality that grows from their home life and experiences. I endeavor to support each and everyone of them to achieve their goals and meet their challenges in life with positivity and resilience.
I believe the care and respect that we give a child in the environment of childcare is an extremely important one and that it should reflect the wants and needs of their families.
“It is vital that when educating our children’s brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.”

Each child is a unique individual and as an early childhood educator, I strive to provide activities that encourage excitement and exploration for the children in my care.It is important to me that I provide a variety of planned and structured activities, focused on the children’s current interests, strengths and developmental milestones, while also allowing the opportunity for free play and children’s guidance in their own learning.
At each developmental milestone children are learning the skills they need for life and as an educator it is my belief that I am here to guide them on their journey.I endeavour to foster strong relationships with the families of the children in my care to ensure that I am meeting their expectations in regards to their children’s growth and development. As an educator it is important that I continue to grow and as such I am constantly furthering my skills and knowledge through experiences and study.

Under these guidelines, we may require a Priority 3 child to vacate a place for a higher priority child.
