At Little Learners Early Development & Education Centre (EDEC), we believe every child in Coolbellup has boundless potential and a natural curiosity to explore the world. Guided by the Reggio Emilia approach, we focus on outdoor learning, fostering your child’s innate drive to discover and learn through play, exploration and interaction with nature. We view the environment as a vital “third teacher,” which is why we emphasise the importance of outdoor spaces that inspire creativity and support early childhood development.
Our Educational Philosophy
Since our establishment in 2014, Little Learners EDEC has been dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive learning experience where every child is encouraged to grow. We design a variety of outdoor activities that help children build confidence, social skills and a sense of wonder. Whether it’s engaging in nature walks, creating with natural materials, or exploring our outdoor play areas, your child will thrive in an environment that fosters emotional, social and academic development.
