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, located just a short drive via South St/State Route 13, we understand the profound impact these formative years have on a child’s future. Our commitment is to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children aged 0 – 6 years can thrive.

Reggio Emilia Philosophy
The Reggio Emilia approach is an innovative and child-centred educational philosophy that originated in the town of Reggio Emilia, Italy, after World War II. It emphasises the importance of a child’s natural curiosity and capacity for learning, viewing them as active participants in their education. This approach encourages children to explore their interests through a project-based curriculum, where learning is guided by their questions and ideas rather than a predetermined syllabus.
This approach is particularly beneficial for children because it nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving skills and a deep sense of agency from an early age. By encouraging children to take an active role in their learning, the Reggio Emilia approach fosters a love for discovery and a strong foundation for lifelong learning. It also places a strong emphasis on social collaboration, where children learn to communicate, share ideas and work together, which supports their social and emotional development.
The emphasis on creativity and exploration helps children develop a deeper understanding of the world around them, making this approach not only educational but also profoundly enriching on a personal level.
