Why families choose us

Why Jerrabomberra families choose Our Place

From preschool to big school, it's just across the road

Illustrated map showing the short walk from Our Place at 1 Firethorn Place across the road to Jerrabomberra Public School.

Our Place sits on Firethorn Place, right across the road from Jerrabomberra Public School. Our educators walk children to and from the school, so starting kindy feels like a short, familiar walk rather than a big leap.

  • Familiar faces at kindy

    Most of our preschoolers go on to Jerrabomberra Public School, so they start kindy with friends they already know.

  • Walked there and back

    Our educators walk school-age children to school in the morning and back again for after school care.

  • One drop-off for the whole family

    Children aged 1 to 12 go to the same address: 1 to 3 year olds, preschoolers and school-age children, for the whole-day program.

A place where your child, and your whole family, are known.

The staff at our place preschool and Daycare are just so caring and put so much work into helping our little ones on a daily basis. I have had two grandsons that have been at our place. One is still there, he is 2 1/2 and he just loves going and gets looked after so well My five year-old grandson that started kinder this year but was there for three years and they prepared him so much for big school. Both go to after school care and holiday care and love it, when I go to pick them up sometimes they just don't want to come home. For anyone new to the area, I totally recommend Our Place.
