Our Philosopy

Jigsaw Child Care Centres are a place where children, families and carers are treated as equal and valued individuals, regardless of race, gender, additional needs or cultural background.
Children will be encouraged to grow and develop to their full potential at their own pace. The Centre will provide a relaxed, safe and loving environment that reflects family values and will help to guide children to respect and care for others.
We will endeavor to help a child to use their initiative, to become self reliant and independent and to enhance their strengths and self esteem.
Carers at the centre will communicate with parents/guardians in a positive and supportive manner that encourages parent participation and discussion regarding all issues relevant to the children and the running of the centre at all times.
To utilize and encourage the individual attributes of the carers and have continuity for the greater benefit for the children and their families and to promote a happy, supportive and respectful workplace.

We have Chilcare Centres in Palmyra (Carrington Childcare) and Munster (Lollipops Childcare).
