Jack & Jill Kindergarten Mosman

Jack and Jill Kindergarten warmly welcomes our families and we look forward to providing quality care and sharing in the happiness of your child’s early learning journey.

Jack and Jill is a small long day care centre providing quality care and education for children aged 2-5. We have two groups, Bilbies, children aged 2-3 and Possums, children aged 3-5. Our staffing ratios exceed the national requirements.

The Early Years Learning Framework is reflected throughout our days and its our desire to help children discover the joy of learning through active hands-on investigation.

Jack and Jill Kindergarten Mona Vale was established in 1954 and has been under the continuous ownership and management of the one family since that date. Over this period its control and management have been successfully transferred from the founder Mrs. Triglone to her children Elizabeth, Margaret and Howard(Bill).

In addition, the Directors have some close associations with the local community as Mrs. Elizabeth Triglone formerly Elizabeth Ireland, the founder of Jack and Jill Kindergarten Mona Vale was born in Kahibah Road, Mosman which is just a short distance from Alexander Avenue. She was also a long term resident of Mosman and spent all her schooling years at Queenwood.

Jack and Jill have demonstrated an ability to work closely with government agencies. The redevelopment of the site in Alexander Avenue, which has been undertaken in conjunction with Mosman Council, has involved finding successful solutions to some complex and protracted issues.

At Jack and Jill, we encourage children in the joy of learning through play-based learning, music, literacy and art. We support children to think independently, problem solve and respect others, their culture and background.

We understand families to be the child’s first educator and support families in a caring, encouraging, and informative manner.

A team approach is fostered where staff are respected as individuals and as valued early childhood educators.

We value, respect and honour diversity and celebrate cultural differences in our families and community. We encourage the celebrations of life such as Birthdays, Christmas, Easter and cultural festivals that engage our families and communities.

We give thanks at mealtimes with the singing of grace.
