More than an investment opportunity, Jarra Childcare Trust is a catalyst for community development across Australia. By combining strategic capital deployment with deep childcare expertise, the Fund builds the social and economic fabric of our community.
Investing in childcare infrastructure generates tangible economic benefits for communities. Not only do new childcare centres create employment opportunities for educators, administrators and support staff, they stimulate ancillary businesses such as maintenance, security and local suppliers.
When families have access to high quality, affordable childcare, workforce participation increases, enabling parents (especially mothers) to return to work. This generates an increased talent pool for local businesses, boosting productivity, greater household income and economic mobility, and reduced reliance on public assistance programs.
Quality early learning boosts school readiness and long-term academic outcomes. They provide safe, nurturing spaces where children develop critical social, emotional and cognitive skills from as young as 6 weeks old. As a result, the longer-term benefits include schools seeing improved performance and engagement, and students building foundational skills that benefit the economy and future workforce.
The support provided extends beyond the children, with many early learning centres often fostering parental networks that strengthen social cohesion and peer support. Centres often serve as social bridges between families, promoting inclusive communities, and allowing for the early identification of family challenges and timely intervention. It is not uncommon that high-quality childcare centres act as vibrant hubs at the heart of their community
Childcare centres aren’t just facilities, they are foundational components of social infrastructure and economic progress. As a unique opportunity to invest in a diversified national portfolio of both childcare businesses and real estate, Jarra Childcare Trust allows wholesale investors to drive community development through the creation of sustainable childcare infrastructure.
