Ambulance Visit

A big THANK YOU to Adam, the paramedic and Amelia and Harry’s dad who kindly brought in an ambulance to show us today. Children were all intrigued to see all the tools inside the ambulance.

Sharing Brayside Preschool Experiences

Scott and Lola

The culture that Janette fosters at Brayside is all about providing a safe, fun, enjoyable environment for children to flourish. The group of women that work at Brayside are not kids straight out of school looking for a job. They are women who have typically had their own kids and choose to work at Brayside due to their love of utilising their teaching qualifications and caring for children in a great preschool.
