Childcare and kindergarten in Como, WA

Jellybeans Como offers long day care and a kindergarten program for children aged 6 weeks to school age, conveniently located for families in Como, South Perth, Manning and Applecross.

Two-level centre with connected outdoor spaces

Our Como centre is designed across two levels, with each classroom having direct access to its own outdoor space for continuous indoor-outdoor learning throughout the day. Outdoor areas feature a bike track, a climbing fort and a dedicated outdoor dining area where children can enjoy meals in the fresh air.

Well-resourced indoor classrooms

Indoors, classrooms across both levels are stocked with materials and resources chosen to encourage exploration, creativity and hands-on learning. The spaces give children opportunities for play-based experiences, creative moments and quieter time suited to their age and stage.

Long-standing educator team

Jellybeans Como has a long-standing team of educators with high staff retention and strong continuity of care. Dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming environment, educators build consistent relationships that help every child feel valued and settled across the day.

Individual Learning Plans

Individual Learning Plans are developed in partnership with families and used to guide learning around each child’s strengths, interests and goals. Educators draw on these plans to shape experiences that suit each child’s needs and stage of development.

Kindergarten and school readiness

Our Kindergarten and school readiness program is delivered by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher and prepares children for the transition to school. Children build skills and confidence through play-based learning, routines, friendships and growing independence.

Sports program and language classes

Children take part in a comprehensive sports program and language classes as part of their weekly program. These experiences give children opportunities to develop physical skills, cultural awareness and language exposure in a fun and engaging way.

Nutritious meals each day

Children enjoy freshly prepared meals and snacks each day, with our on-site chef delivering a rotating seasonal menu of breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. Dietary, cultural and individual requirements are all catered for.

Daily updates via the family app

Families stay informed and involved through clear and consistent communication, including centre newsletters, one-on-one meetings and events throughout the year. Day-to-day moments and learning experiences are shared through our family app, giving families a simple way to stay connected with life at the centre.

"I want each child to feel capable, confident, and proud of what they achieve, while enjoying the process of learning."

I have been working in early childhood education since 2011, joining G8 Education in 2017. I’ve always found working in early education incredibly rewarding. I love watching children grow, build confidence, and develop new skills each day. Supporting their learning through play and being part of their early years, alongside building strong relationships with families, is what makes this role so meaningful to me.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that play is a powerful way children learn. It supports their social skills, problem-solving, creativity, and independence. Every child is unique and develops at their own pace, so I focus on creating safe, engaging environments where children feel supported and genuinely interested in their learning. I’m passionate about building positive relationships with children and supporting their individual strengths and interests. I want each child to feel capable, confident, and proud of what they achieve, while enjoying the process of learning.

When speaking with families, I always acknowledge that they are a child’s first and most important teachers. Our role is to complement this by providing structured, play-based experiences guided by educators who understand child development. Together, we support children in building key skills such as early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and independence.

I’m fortunate to work alongside a supportive and collaborative team of educators who bring a range of strengths and experiences. We communicate openly, work closely together, and create a positive environment where both children and educators can thrive.

Building strong relationships with families is central to my role. I prioritise open, honest communication and take the time to understand each family’s values and routines, so we can provide consistent and meaningful support for their child’s learning and development.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our early learning centre in Como, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery.

Community engagement

We believe in the importance of community connection and regularly welcome special guests to the centre, including members of the aged care community and local sports groups in Como, enriching the children’s learning experience with diverse interactions.

Sustainability

Children develop respect for the environment through gardening, recycling and nature-based learning. Educators also introduce the interconnected aspects of sustainability, including environmental, social and economic, through concepts like fairness, sharing and community.

STEM

Educators introduce open-ended materials and invitations to explore, such as building, measuring and experimenting. Through shared conversations and investigation, children develop curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Music and movement

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood.

She chats with us every day when we pick up our daughter to keep us informed of how our baby is doing and kindly advise us what type of changes might be helpful. Chef Vivi always pay special attention to our baby’s dietary requirement and made changes to her diet immediately once we have informed the team. What we love most is reading the detailed and fun posts every day! These lovely early childhood education professionals not only facilitate safe and nurturing environments where children can explore and learn, but they also design engaging activities that promote social interaction, cognitive skills, and emotional resilience! As the first-time parents, we are so appreciative to the Jellybean Como team!

I cannot recommend Jellybeans Como enough! My toddler absolutely loves it here and so do both me and my husband! We are always relieved to see the same wonderful educators day to day as we know not everyone in other daycares have had the pleasure which reflects very much about their management being wonderful here! We cannot imagine placing our child anywhere else and we’re so grateful to have a place here for our little ones.

A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.

On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.

First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.

To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.

Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.

Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.

Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.

When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Learn more about our Settling-in Program.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits, spare socks and a plastic bag for wet clothes.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

Jellybeans uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Jellybeans is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.

We look forward to welcoming your family.
