Experienced Leadership & Long Term Educators in Maroubra
At Maroubra Junction Early Education Centre, our childcare and preschool in Maroubra is led by Lauren, a hands on Director with over 30 years of experience in early childhood education. As a privately owned and operated centre established in Maroubra, Lauren is present daily and actively involved in every aspect of the service, working within the rooms alongside educators and children.
Because we are privately owned, decisions are made onsite with children and families in mind. There is no head office or external management. Families have direct access to leadership and clear communication at all times.
Parents value knowing that an experienced leader is personally overseeing their child’s learning, safety and wellbeing every day.
Our long term educators have built strong, trusted relationships with children and families over many years. This consistency supports emotional security, confidence and a true sense of belonging from nursery through to our preschool program.
As a respected early learning centre in Maroubra, our reputation has been built on professionalism, warmth and genuine care. We are committed to creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported and excited to learn.

Two-Year School Readiness Program
MJEEC offers a well-established two-year school readiness program designed to support children in their transition to primary school.
Our preschool classrooms are structured across two stages:
• 3–4 years – First year of the School Readiness Program
• 4–5 years – Second year of the School Readiness Program
This progressive approach allows children to build strong foundations in early literacy and numeracy, social confidence, emotional regulation and independence over time.
At the end of the program, children celebrate their learning journey through a graduation before commencing Kindergarten.
Through structured learning experiences, guided play and consistent educator support, children develop the skills and confidence needed for a successful start to school.
Statement of Commitment to Child Safety
Our Service, educators, and staff are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We understand our responsibilities and statutory duty of care to implement the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and embed the Child Safe Standards to prevent and respond to allegations of child abuse.
We are committed to implementing our Child Safe Environment Policy, which incorporates the Child Safe Standards and highlights our zero tolerance for child abuse. This policy raises awareness of the importance of child safety and the need to protect children who have experienced or are at risk of significant harm, abuse, or neglect within our Service and the broader community.
Our leadership team actively promotes and models child-safe values and behaviours, ensuring governance, decision-making, and daily practices reflect our unwavering commitment to children’s rights and safety. We engage in regular reflective practice to continuously strengthen our child-safe culture, using staff feedback, incident reviews, audits, and professional learning to guide our improvement.
We ensure all staff, volunteers, and students engaged at our Service are suitable to work with children and young people through rigorous recruitment processes and Working with Children Checks. We uphold our commitment to our Child Protection Policy, ensuring compliance with mandatory reporting and the Reportable Conduct Scheme to safeguard children from physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse and neglect.
We are dedicated to promoting cultural safety and providing an inclusive environment for all children and young people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with a disability, and children with diverse gender identities and experiences. We believe all children are unique and have the right to be protected from discrimination, harm, and abuse.
We actively involve children in developing and reviewing safety practices, using age-appropriate strategies to help them understand their rights and how to seek help. We provide ongoing opportunities for children to learn about personal safety, protective behaviours, respectful relationships, and emotional wellbeing through play-based learning and intentional teaching experiences.
We support the ongoing professional development of all staff to ensure clear understanding of appropriate boundaries and to build confidence in identifying and responding to indicators of harm. Our team is trained to respond appropriately to concerns or disclosures and to foster trusting, responsive relationships with children.
We work in alignment with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and empower children to voice their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. We encourage children to participate in decisions that affect them and actively listen to their input in the development of our policies and procedures.
We value strong partnerships with families, carers, and our wider community. Open and respectful communication is encouraged to support the continuous review and improvement of our child-safe practices, ensuring we create a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for every child.

Reviews & Recommendations
Home away from home
We have started in MJEEC a bit apprehensive because our child was very happy and settled in a different centre (we moved areas hence the move of childcare too). We were so glad to find out that educators would ensure our child had the best time at her new centre and would be included amongst the group of children. Our little one found love and acceptance at the centre and is constantly thriving as a result of the incredible activities they propose on a daily basis. We feel our child has her imagination and creativity stimulated at the centre and is encouraged to make sense of her experiences and express in words what she is discovering there. All educators are absolutely lovely and caring.
The director puts so much effort into doing special dates meaningful and they produce such nice gifts for mothers and fathers days as well as other big occasions when children are encouraged to do something from their heart and learn about love and care for those they love, we feel lucky and blessed to be part of such an amazing centre that prioritises families needs rather than nonsense rules at times. We couldn’t feel happier about our experience at MJEEC and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is in search of a beautiful childcare at the area.
A competitively priced and professional service
MJEEC has been a home away from home for our child. From day 1 they helped ease new parent anxieties with a great orientation program that helped our little 5-month-old settle in along with us. We have always felt safe and secure that the staff will look after and care for her, as well as educate, discipline and play lovingly. They have always been receptive to polite feedback and minor child specific adjustments.
It has been over 2 years of her attending and she has grasped so much, learnt to share and eat so many varieties of foods (all cooked fresh on site). Like all places it’s about finding the right fit, MJEEC are family to our child and part of the team raising her. She actually really enjoys her time at day care.
We would recommend them thoroughly!
My Daughter has been attending MJEEC for the past two years and I’m extremely happy with the love, care and education she receives there. Every single educator treats the children like their own. It’s the most loving and nurturing place for children to learn and grow. Lauren, the Director treats everyone like family, she’s such a wonderful person. Highly recommend this beautiful childcare centre
Homely & Welcoming
We have had two children at MJEEC with Lauren and the team, across the nursery, toddler and preschool rooms over the last 18 months. The centre is homely, welcoming and provides exemplary care and education to the children, we all feel welcome every time we enter the centre and our daughters feel secure and happy whilst also learning new skills and making friends in a supportive environment. Many of the staff have been with the centre for a number of years, and they are true professionals and masters of their craft. We are extremely happy at MJEEC.
Not just a day care - it's a family
Fantastic staff who care for my children
My children have both attended MJEEC and I am extremely happy with the centre. The staff are fantastic and I feel they really know and care for my children. I am very comfortable knowing my kids are safe and well looked after in my absence. The activities offered are also a big plus, from the incursions such as sport, dance and mandarin, to the play based learning and school readiness programme. Also the food provided is nutritious and the daily reports make me feel involved in my kids days. I cannot recommend this centre highly enough, and I frequently do tell everyone I know!
Convenient & Nurturing 🙂
We were referred to MJEEC by friends and have sent our son there for the last 3 years. The location is so convenient and his educators have, without fail, been patient and nurturing. They really get to know each child’s background and encourage families to participate in their child’s learning. Education and creativity have been greatly encouraged- my son has made great progress and I love it when he comes home with stories of the things he has learnt or seen that have excited him. They have done a great job and I have no doubt that he is ready and well prepared for school!
In such safe hands!
We have been with MJEEC since Gabby was 18months we were very supported by staff to feel secured as first time parents. They have even especially assisted our daughter to develop her confidence in speaking and now that Gabby is in Preschool2 we see her growth and maturity in all aspects of her developmental stages and we know this is because of her teachers at MJEEC
