Our Offering
Infants & Toddlers
Infants and toddlers from 6mths - 2 years are cared for by our passionate teachers in our Nursery room. We follow the work of Magda Gerber and Emmi Pikler with the RIE philosophy which focuses on respectful education and care. Your baby will receive dedicated care from an experienced and loving key teacher.
Young Children
Our older children are empowered to solve problems, seek challenge and inquire through their interests and curiosity. Early literacy and numeracy are introduced in age-appropriate ways through a play-based curriculum. Our teaching team support children in developing key self-help skills, extending emotional intelligence and supporting relationship skills. We foster an environment that encourages self-expression, communication, resilience and creativity.
What Parents Say
"Every moment has been invaluable for their growth and development"
"The memories our children have made here will be cherished by us for a lifetime.
​
Words can not express the gratitude my family feel towards you all for the love, care and support you have provided to us over the years.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing a second home to our children."
Alisa
"The care they show consistently stands out"
“I've visited many preschools before coming to The Junction. I was very surprised about the "transactional" feeling from other places, even more expensive ones. As soon as I came to The Junction I felt very welcome. The teachers listened to all my concerns, were very patient and made an effort to engage with my little one.
The care they show consistently stands out and you can see the passion they have for what they do.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place where you can trust that your children will be looked after and cared for as well as a centre that listens to you as a parent."
