Jigsaw Preschool is a purpose-built early childhood centre on Sir John McKenzie Drive in Yaldhurst, Christchurch. It opened in June 2011 and takes children from infants to around five or six years. Its rooms are designed for different age groups, so each room offers activities that suit that stage of development. An onsite cook prepares nutritious, healthy food for the children.
The director, Trish Ireland, has worked in early childhood education for more than 25 years, and the centre says its teachers aim to treat each child as an individual, with a focus on lifelong learning. Enrolment is done through an online form, and a gallery on the website shows the learning spaces. On Open Locally's figures there are two other childcare listings within 1 km: BestStart Buchanans Road, 0.3 km away and rated 4.9 from 23 reviews, and The Wilderness Early Learning Centre, 0.6 km away and rated 4.9 from 44 reviews. The centre's purpose-built rooms and onsite cooking are the main things its website highlights.
