Kindy Patch West Ipswich

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

I began my career in early childhood education and care in 2011 and started working at Kindy Patch West Ipswich in 2020. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services and am currently studying towards my Bachelor of Early Education.

I have always loved working with children and helping them develop their emerging personalities and skills. I enjoy building relationships with the children and families within the childcare centre and really making it a home away from home.

Every child is different in the way they learn, you have to be adaptable and be able to change your approach on the spot to suit their emerging needs. I have worked on furthering my knowledge and skills regarding children through studying and hands-on experience. I work directly with the children and families as we navigate their time within the centre to create a safe place where strong connections can be built to help them develop the skills they need for life.

Sending your child to an Early Education centre can be taboo or scary for some people but the learning that the children experience is 100% worth it. We use the developmental checklists to ensure children are socially and emotionally ready for their next journey. The Kindergarten Room ensure they are ready to tackle the challenges of Prep with confidence and at ease all while building secure relationships within a home away from home setting.

All of our staff are long term educators who take pride in their relationships with all children and families. The educators work hard and are very dedicated to the centre and are available for any of your needs! Our educators hold a wealth of knowledge and enjoy getting involved in their community.

Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. Kindy Patch has extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care.

We support families simply by being always available to them, having an open-door policy. We hold breakfast in the car park once a month for all children and families. We take the time to get to know them and their individual needs.

We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy (CCS), explaining subsidies, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.
