Maylands Early Education Centre - Our Centre Tania - Centre Manager Tania Jonsson holds a diploma in children services which allows her to lead the team at Maylands Early Education Centre. Tania’s career started in the food industry where she owned and ran a Deli for 7 years. This highlights her enthusiasm for health and nutrition in early childhood to date. From there Tania worked in the Disability Services, where she was responsible for planning and implementing social outing, this really took her by surprise in the importance for everyone to feel a sense of belonging and being in their community. Tania’s interest in supporting people in the community has now taken her to the childcare sector where she was first a Group Leader in a nursery room and now the Centre Manager. Tania is a mother of 3 children and a nanna and excited to very soon have another baby join her family. Please come and visit Tania and the friendly staff at the Maylands EEC to discuss how our educators can provide quality care for you and your child.

Babies Room

0 - 2 years

Toddlers Room

2 - 3 years

The Toddlers Room consists of children ages 2-3yrs. In the Toddlers Room we focus on self help skills, developmental domains, and children's interests. This is obtained through observations on each child, which are then added onto our fortnightly program. Each child's individual needs in regards to religion, family background, and/or personal choice are all taken into account and we strive to meet these each day. We welcome and encourage all parents and family input in regards to the program and daily routines. We love to dance, sing and just be silly in the toddlers room, as we see the children's personalities come alive, and it makes us feel happy to see our children smile.

Senior Kindy Room

3 - 5 years

The Kindy Room consists of children aged 3-5yrs. In the Kindy Room we focus on learning and maintaining routines, developing self help skills, developing cognitive concepts like letters numbers and shapes. Children and staff in the Kindy Room are always full of smiles as the Kindy Room is never quiet and always active. Gross motor skills are encouraged both inside and outside through various activities.

With our Kindy Room being highly multi-cultural with children from many different backgrounds, staff have lots of fun incorporating many activities of a multi-cultural nature and learning about these different cultures.

Schoolies Room

School Age

The school aged children are offered a range of activities, ranging from gross motor to social development. When children are arriving back from school in the afternoon, afternoon tea is prepared or sometimes the schoolies have a go at making their own afternoon tea, as they love developing those self help skills. The schoolies room has an area for children to complete homework if parents request this to happen. In the mornings the schoolies children join with the kindy aged children being great role models for the younger children, until they get to go on the Maylands Bus and off to school.
