About Us

Jumping Jacks ELC and kindergarten is positioned in a quiet Mentone street while having easy access from Nepean Hwy and Swanston Street in the city of Kingston.

It is a privately owned and run centre.

Jumping Jacks ELC and Kindergarten is privately owned and operated by Jo Richardson and her husband Andrew. As parents of two young children they wholly understand the pressures of juggling family with work and how difficult it can be to find the right centre for you and your child. Between them, Jo and Andrew have more than 25 years experience in the Human Resource field and Childcare related industries. Both are actively involved with the centre on a daily basis providing support to the wonderful team of professional educators and interacting with families. 

Our Centre provides long day care for 40 children, as we believe that being small means being able to provide more personalised care for both you and your family.


At our centre we have wonderful staff consisting of:
* Kindergarten Teacher and Assistant for the kinder room
* Qualified Room Leader and two Assistants for the Tiny Tots room
* A Cook to prepare wonderful fresh meals
 
On occasion when staff are ill, we have regular relief staff to call on and therefore the children always have familiar faces to care for them.

The interest and welfare of the children is of paramount importance to us. In our centre children feel comfortable, secure, and most importantly it is a safe environment where the children are able to explore new learning experiences.

We respect that every child is an individual and therefore devise programs that foster growth and development for the individual child.
