Services
Early Education
Our early education programs use play-based learning to develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social interaction. Qualified educators design age-appropriate activities that stimulate curiosity and creativity while meeting developmental milestones. Children engage in both structured lessons and self-directed exploration.
Preschool Program
Our preschool curriculum prepares 3-6 year olds for formal schooling through balanced routines combining educational activities with physical play. We focus on building independence, communication skills, and emotional regulation to ensure smooth transitions to primary education environments.
Childcare Services
We provide full-day care in a secure, nurturing environment with qualified staff maintaining low child-to-educator ratios. Services include nutritious home-cooked meals, rest periods, and structured play sessions that support physical development and social interaction.
School Readiness
Our school readiness program develops essential skills for academic success through literacy and numeracy activities, group projects, and organisational practice. We collaborate with local schools to align our curriculum with primary education expectations.
Digital Portfolios
We maintain individual digital portfolios documenting each child's progress through photos, observations, and work samples. These interactive records track developmental achievements and provide parents with regular updates on learning milestones and interests.

Our daughter Miranda attends Joey's Cottage. She comes home full of joy and laughter. I work full time so she goes to preschool 5 days a week. I'm so grateful she's being well educated, loved and looked after by great teachers and caring staff.
Did I mention that Joey's Cottage is super big, super clean and super exciting? A great place to give your children a head start in life. We all know how important this is- emotionally, socially and academically. My other son Martin went to Joey's Cottage a few years ago, he's now in year 3 and still recalls all the memorable times he had at this special

Both of my children always rave about Joeys Cottage Pre-School. They are one of the not-too-many pre-schools around where the owners dont seem to be all about increasing their profits, and actually care about your children. The teachers are loved by all, the owners actually live in the area, they always great you with a smile, and no body else around can compete with their facilities. Definitely a 5-star rating as nothing else in the area even comes close..
