WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
Welcome to Jungle Gems Early Learning Centre. We are purpose built and conveniently located in the heart of Nerang. Every day is an exciting new adventure at our African safari themed childcare centre.
We’re a family owned and operated business that is family focused. Founded by two sisters, Samantha & Nicole, both qualified primary school teachers whom after years of teaching and running their own businesses have decided to combine their skills, knowledge and passion to create this beautiful childcare centre. Samantha and Nicole don’t just own Jungle Gems, they work in it. They are present every day, openly communicating with families and play an integral role in the planning & programming for each of the 4 classrooms.
We are an affordable boutique centre with flexible hours and expert educators. Jungle Gems caters for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. To us your child is a special, unique individual and therefore our philosophy is play based learning experiences where children’s individual development is supported and nurtured in a safe and compassionate environment.
Jungle Gems is more than just a daycare centre, here your child will awaken their love of learning. Our curriculum is based on the National Early Years Learning Framework. Fundamental to the Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by belonging, being and becoming.
As per the famous African Proverb; ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, let Jungle Gems be a part of your village.

"We Couldn't Be Happier"
“My son loves Jungle Gems so much that the first thing he asks for when he wakes up is to go to ‘school’. He also asks to go on the weekend!!! We have been made so welcome and in such a short amount of time since opening we feel like we are already part of the Jungle Gems family. It is such an amazing daycare with wonderful loving caring staff. I love receiving updates on what they are up to during the day and what they have been learning. I know my son is well looked after and well educated at Jungle Gems. I feel confident that he will definitely be ready for big school next year. I can’t recommend this centre enough, we could not be any happier.”
"We Already Feel Part Of The Family"
“First week at the new Jungle Gems and already we feel a part of the family. The team here are caring and really want to see our girls succeed. Our daughters are so engaged and getting some quality one on one times with the educators as well. The team have a great set up for nurturing the kids learning.”
"Amazing Facility & Even Better Culture"
“Jungle Gems have an amazing facility and even better culture that they have already built in such a short amount of time being open. It is so family orientated, welcoming and friendly. They have nothing but the best interests of our children at heart. In only a week they have really got to know our children on an individual basis and have quality group learning activities as well as individual one on one time with the kids to tailor the learning to their capabilities. We absolutely love the daily updates on the ‘Storypark’ app so you feel involved as a parent with the kids learning and what they do each day. The educators are such beautiful people- I would recommend Jungle Gems to anyone!”
