“My daughter loves going to munchkins! I was first drawn to its calmness when I visited and after speaking with the educators, hearing their love of the centre/kids and how long they have worked there, it was definitely the right choice for our family. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We are extremely happy!"
Kimberley Russell
“We've visited other centers before, but the experience was never quite like this. The intimate and personalized learning environment made all the difference for our child, who felt encouraged, valued and supported. Thanks to this center, our child is more confident and has a great foundation for future success."

Our Values
Childhood
We view childhood as a unique time for exploration and learning in a secure, nurturing environment. We foster identity, confidence, and a love of learning, ensuring children’s voices shape our actions and decisions.
Integrity and Relationships
We value honesty, openness, and respect in all relationships, grounded in trust and ethical behavior. Feedback is welcome, and decisions are responsible and fair.
Leadership
Driven by a commitment to quality education, we lead by example and share our expertise to inspire progress in early childhood education practices.
Community and Collaboration
We believe in the power of community and the importance of working together. We encourage active participation from families and staff to create a collaborative environment that benefits everyone involved.
Sustainability
Honoring our past and future, we commit to responsibilities towards our children, communities, people, environments, and organizational sustainability.
Diversity and Inclusion
We celebrate diverse cultures, beliefs, and strengths, ensuring every child has the right to belong and fully participate in our programs.
Our Approach
At Munchkins Kindy, we use a strength-based approach with teachings. A strength-based approach is a strategy educators use to identify what works well for your child, what they know, what they can do, and how to use this for further development.
These strengths and competencies include physical, intellectual, and interpersonal skills. Through this individualized approach, the educators can take the time to assess and evaluate each child's motivations, interests, and skill sets and find ways to implement them into their teaching.

Meet the Director
Hello, my name is Janeta, and I am the Owner and Centre Director of Munchkins Kindy. As a mother of three young children—ages five, three, and six months—my personal experiences deeply influence the unique touch I bring to Munchkins Kindy.
With 15 years of professional experience as a trained Early Childhood Teacher, I have held various roles throughout my career. Most recently, I worked with the Department of Education at the NSW/ACT Inclusion Agency. Inclusion is my passion, and I am dedicated to fostering it within our team at Munchkins Kindy.
I am wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that every child and family in our care has the most positive experience possible. I set high standards for myself, my staff, and all the children who are part of Munchkins Kindy.
I firmly believe in creating an environment where all children are supported and guided to reach their full potential.
