Embracing our environment and being part of the community are a major part of Jan Juc Preschool\u2019s meaningful play-based kindergarten programs.<\/h3>\n

Surrounded by gum trees, the large play area provides a range of activities for the children while native birds create a beautiful background chorus.
\nFrom swings and a climbing frame, to the vegetable garden and outdoor library, with so much to do it\u2019s no wonder children can\u2019t wait to get back to kinder the next day.
\nEach of the three dedicated rooms has a host of fun and educational activities. And the ever-evolving nature areas highlight the children\u2019s discoveries, which are discussed in great detail as a class.
\nThe preschool also has a functioning kitchen where the children help prepare food from the garden as part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.
\nHeld weekly for all four-year-old children, bush kinder is another highlight, with a chance for children to run and explore, climb and jump, search for and learn about honeybrown beetles and other insects, or make mud pies.
\nAn invaluable asset to the preschool, are our passionate teachers. Each day they welcome the children with open arms, passion and enthusiasm, creating a sense of wonder, creativity and free thinking.
\nEngaging with the community is also a large part of the Jan Juc Preschool\u2019s philosophy. A number of excursions and incursions throughout the year take children out of the classroom offering experiences that help expand the children\u2019s knowledge and understanding of their world.
\nEnrolments for 2021 are now open and close on June 26.<\/p>\n

Virtual Open Day<\/strong>
\nFamilies interested in Jan Juc Preschool are invited to our Virtual Open Day on Thursday, May 28, from 8-8.30pm. To register, head to janjucpreschool.com\/openday<\/a>.
