Early learning experiences are the cornerstone of a child’s educational journey, shaping their cognitive, social and emotional development. At Little Learners Early Development & Education Centre, conveniently located just a short drive via York St, we understand the profound impact that these formative years have on a child’s future. That’s why we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children aged 0 – 6 years can thrive.
Our approach to early childhood education is guided by the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Reggio Emilia philosophy. These frameworks ensure that each child’s learning experience is productive, fun and meaningful.
The Early Years Learning Framework
The EYLF emphasises the importance of play-based learning, recognising that children learn best through play. Our curriculum is designed to support children’s holistic development, focusing on their physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. Through a combination of structured activities and open-ended play, we encourage children to explore their interests, develop new skills and build strong foundations for lifelong learning.
Our educators are dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and respected. By fostering positive relationships and promoting a sense of belonging, we help children develop confidence and a love for learning.
The Reggio Emilia Approach
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our teaching practices emphasise child-led learning and the importance of the environment as the third teacher. We believe that children are naturally curious and capable learners who thrive when given the opportunity to explore and express themselves.
Our classrooms are designed to be inviting and engaging, filled with natural light, open spaces and a variety of materials that inspire creativity and imagination. We encourage children to take an active role in their learning, ask questions and collaborate with their peers.
At Little Learners, we also value the role of families in a child’s education. We work closely with parents and carers to ensure that each child’s unique needs and interests are met. By building strong partnerships with families, we create a cohesive learning experience that extends beyond the classroom.
