My Philosophy

My approach to learning is influenced by my personal experiences as a child feeling secure around those I trusted and experiencing much happiness playing for hours at a time as a member of a large extended family.

I believe that understanding children and responding to them in a community of collaboration opens the curriculum to all possibilities.

I place much value on play as being the vehicle to success and self-belief in children as it provides children a great sense of freedom to explore and develop new ideas and concepts naturally in many social contexts.

My aim is to create a beautiful, inviting environment that foster learning, respect and secure relationships.

What Our Families Say

Sharing Brayside Preschool Experiences

Scott and Lola

The culture that Janette fosters at Brayside is all about providing a safe, fun, enjoyable environment for children to flourish. The group of women that work at Brayside are not kids straight out of school looking for a job. They are women who have typically had their own kids and choose to work at Brayside due to their love of utilising their teaching qualifications and caring for children in a great preschool.

Loved this preschool. My daughter was going here and she was always happy there, loved going and wanted to go on her days off. My son who was too young to go also loved being there. The classroom and outside areas are amazing always with new areas set up for the kids to explore.
