Welcome to Jellybeans Childcare Carine! We are a full-service, purpose-built childcare centre that caters for children aged from birth to 6 years. Our centre operates between the hours of 7am and 6pm to ensure that there is ample time for drop-offs in the mornings and pick-ups in the afternoon. 

For your convenience, we provide morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack with many ingredients used coming directly from our veggie garden. Each meal is prepared by our very own professional chef to ensure that your child is provided with nutritious meals throughout the day.

Our team of educators, including a Bachelor-qualified teacher, work together to deliver the best quality education for your child in order to prepare them for Kindy and Junior School ahead of them with our Kindy Program.

As part of our Kindy education program, we host a variety of incursion and excursions such as emergency service visits from firemen and women and police officers that help to introduce your child to the community and world around them. We also run health and fitness programs within the centre including Happy Feet Fitness on Tuesdays and Fridays and Hey Dee Ho music classes every second Monday.

We appreciate that our families come from all walks of life with different cultures, nationalities, and religions which we welcome and celebrate. Family involvement is cherished at Jellybeans Carine, so we welcome contact from our parents and families at any time for any questions or ideas they might have. We encourage parent participation and often host special events and parent information evenings.

We extend that connection to prospective families also, who we would warmly extend an invitation to. Please don’t hesitate to contact our centre should you wish to have a question answered or schedule a tour, we would love to hear from you and show you around!

Rachel Weeks

Welcome to Jellybeans Carine. My name is Rachel Weeks and I am the centre manager. I have a diploma in Children’s services 0-12 years and a Business Administration qualification. Over the years I have had a variety of positions from room leader, oshc supervisor, 2IC and other management positions. I am a mother of two children and enjoy the balance of a family and working life.

I believe that children in our care need to feel a sense of love, security, and understanding. Children are capable learners that need consistent guidance and encouragement from loving and caring educators. I believe that children’s ideas and views help mould the basis for our curriculum. The EYLF curriculum is a platform for the early years of a child’s life, giving them the basis for developing the fundamentals for a sense of belonging and self-worth. At Jellybeans Carine we strive for all children to become active learners and we believe all children are special and unique. Good relationships with families are crucial to fulfilling a sense of belonging.

Our goal everyday is to make every child feel happy and secure when they enter the centre. If we can start at this level, we are heading in the right direction. Here is a quote from Maria Montessori which resonates with me “The most important period of life is not the age of University studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six”.

I look forward to meeting new families and showing you around our friendly service.

“I wanted to say a big thank you to the educators in the Babies room. It has been a big adjustment for me going back to work and I have appreciated the daily updates and pictures. They have meant so much to us. I also want to praise the staff in the Kindy room. Anika enjoys stopping by to see Hayley, Sara and other educators after we drop off her brother. We really are grateful for your wonderful educators for taking such good care of our children.”

“Awesome centre with great staff! All of the staff, be it the staff in the rooms, the ladies in the office and the amazing cook in the kitchen, are so friendly and helpful, and the centre itself is nice and bright with great resources for the kids. My little girl always says she has had a great day, and is happy when I drop her off and pick her up which I think speaks volumes!”

“From the second you walk in to Jelly beans Carine you feel at ease. Jelly Beans Carine immediately demonstrates they are there to provide the best experience for your child/ren. The careers are able to give you a good overview after each day and my daughter is always in the best of moods after a day at Jelly beans Carine. I would recommend them to anyone looking for safe, fun and inclusive day care centre.”

– A.G.

“I was really nervous about starting my daughter in daycare. I needn’t have been! She has loved Jellybeans since day one! The staff are so friendly, supportive, informative and are fantastic with the children, as is evidenced by my daughter’s excitement as soon as we pull into the car park, and the way she can’t wait to get inside! She runs in, waves goodbye (when she remembers or is reminded) and doesn’t look back! What more reassurance could I possibly need? The food the children are served is delicious (my little one never has less than 2 servings) and the whole centre just makes you feel welcomed and supported. My daughter is in the babies’ room and the staff are amazing! I could not be happier with her care and am so glad that I chose Jellybeans Carine. I highly recommend it!”

– Kelly

“I have twins attending Jellybeans Carine, they started in January 2015 and really enjoy their time at the centre. They are very different children and the staff in the babies room has worked hard to ensure they are treated as individuals and their different eating/sleeping/playing habits are looked after. I am impressed with the facilities and the communication and reports we receive.”

– Neroli

“We have been using Jellybeans Carine Services for the past 4 years and without a doubt, the educators working there have had a positive and profound effect on the social and cognitive development of my kids. Even with the high rotation rate typical of the industry, there is a continuity in the philosophy of the centre to focus on the development of the children. It is full of activities, and good food; my kids have formed long lasting bonds with the educators and other children.”
