Story

Our aim is to ensure that each child is acknowledged as an individual and that as teachers we are provideing quality educaton in a stimulating environment that will contribute to their successful future.

We are a newly licensed Preschool which caters from infants through to five years old. We open from 7.30am to 5.30pm five days a week. Our preschool is unique as it has been purposely built to cater to four different age groups. Each room is designed to meet the child's individual development. As your child grows and develops each room will provide stimulation and age appropriate activities that extend their learning further.

Jigsaw Preschool opened in June 2011, the Director is Trish Ireland who has worked in Early Childhood education for the past 20 years. Her passion and dedication to the early childhood sector has enabled her to develop this centre with a philosophy that promotes high quality education that will lay the foundations of your child's lifelong learning.

Mission

We believe that every child is unique in terms of life experience, development readiness, and cultural heritage. The partnership between family and Jigsaw Preschool is, therefore essential to their optimal growth and development.

Our aim is to provide a safe, nurturing, stimulating environment that accommodates and embraces differences. Our goal is to promote the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of each child.

We believe in the integration of learning and play, as children learn best by doing. We strive for a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities, providing the foundation of a developmentally appropriate early childhood programme. Given opportunities to explore the world around them, yound children become active, involved learners.
