The Juniors Journey Difference
TopWe believe that building strong and trusting relationships creates an inspirational space for children to be, belong and become.
First and foremost, we believe the most influential teacher in a child’s life is their family.
By fostering meaningful partnerships with our families, we aim to develop foundations of understanding around everyone’s expectations. By building on the strength of each other’s knowledge, together, we can empower each child to see their unique talents and abilities.
Our educators are the heart and soul of Juniors Journey Early Learning.
We believe the quality and commitment of our educators are paramount. By investing in the wellbeing of our teachers, supporting their professional development and encouraging a positive team culture, we create an environment for the happiness and growth of our children to flourish.
We understand that raising a well-rounded and inspired child is a community effort.
At Juniors Journey, we nurture strong links with our wider local communities, supporting local businesses and initiatives as much as possible. By working closely with schools, maternal health services and local councils, we ensure all aspects of the family are supported and recognised.
With a focus on providing high-quality early childhood education in a nurturing environment, we celebrate each child’s individuality on their unique journey of learning and discovery.
Safe and welcoming centres
Striving to provide the best care and education in your local community, we aim to help each child not only find their own inner confidence but learn how to inspire those around them to do the same.
Play-based
learning
With brand-new modern indoor and outdoor facilities and weekly extra-curricular activities, we place an emphasis on play-based learning experiences that align with the (ACECQA) Early Years Learning Framework.
Home-cooked and nutritious meals
All our children receive fresh and healthy meals prepared four times a day by our in-house chef, fueling their mental well-being and physical growth, while also developing healthy attitudes towards food.
Celebrating diversity and difference
At Juniors Journey, we believe each and every child is special. We welcome children from all different backgrounds, cultures and abilities. We acknowledge each child’s individuality and aim to provide an enriching learning environment tailored to their unique needs.
School readiness and preschool programs
Preparing for “big school”
At Juniors Journey, we provide a comprehensive kindergarten program, carefully designed and delivered by our team of qualified early childhood educators to equip children with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the broader school environment.
Foundations for life
Focusing on the development of reasoning and negotiation skills, as well as supporting the understanding of acceptable risk-taking, our program helps to prepare your child socially and emotionally for the next step in their education journey.
Confident, connected and involved learners
TopAt Juniors Journey, we provide resources, equipment and activities to give all children a comprehensive and engaging early learning experience.
Our safe and secure centres provide the perfect environment for children to explore their limits.
Learning to take acceptable and calculated risks is an important part of a child’s development. We provide a pre-assessed space for children to venture into new experiences, tackle challenging and uncertain scenarios and engage in growth-promoting activities.
Our daily activities and special events encourage individual learning journeys and a connected community.
Our regular daily curriculum offers a range of activities and experiences to allow children to develop their own individual interests while also discovering the importance of working with others. We also offer regular incursions to give children exposure to new and different experiences and aspects of life.

At Juniors Journey, we offer a day full of play-based learning and development, catered to your child’s age.
For babies (0 to 2 years old), we provide a balanced day of care, rest and social stimulation. Our everyday routines provide opportunities for your baby to strengthen relationships and build language skills through songs, games and conversations.
For toddlers (2 to 3 years old), our educators plan age-appropriate play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Our activities support all areas of a child’s development, including language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions and social relationships.
For preschool children (3+ years old), preparing for ‘big’ school is our key focus. Our preschool programs are taught by a qualified early childhood educator and are designed to help prepare your child both socially and emotionally for the next step in their early education journey.
Play-based learning provides opportunities for children to actively and imaginatively engage with people, objects and their environment. When playing, children may engage in organising, constructing, manipulating, pretending, exploring, investigating, creating, interacting, imagining or negotiating. Play-based learning promotes the holistic development (physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative) of a child and can also support a broad range of literacy and numeracy skills.
Choosing to send your child to an early learning centre prior to preschool is a completely personal choice, but it can have positive impacts on a child’s learning and development. Enrolling your child at a centre like Juniors Journey allows them to begin developing their social skills and making friends, discover their independence and get used to learning routines. This can help their transition to preschool and ‘big’ school easier.
Nurturing, welcoming, and empowering every child.
At Juniors Journey, we support our educators, families and children for a unique and empowering early childhood education experience.
