OUR TEAM

To ensure that we exceed expectations we maintain a staff-to-child ratio that is above requirements. Each class of 20 children has a University-trained teacher, Diploma-trained educator and Certificate 3-trained educator.

We are proud of the stability and consistency that our educators provide and have current educators who have been dedicated to Jannali Preschool for over 26 years.
