Child-First Early Learning Curriculum | Play-Based Education in Australia

Our child-first curriculum is designed to place every child at the centre of their learning journey. We take a hands-on, play-based approach where our qualified educators create environments that are stimulating, safe, nurturing and fun.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach

We draw inspiration from the globally recognised Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, encouraging children to explore, discover and learn through meaningful experiences. A key part of our philosophy is outdoor learning, where children engage in unstructured play within natural environments—often referred to as the “third teacher.”

Outdoor Play and Experiential Learning

Children at our centre spend significant time outdoors, building confidence, creativity and problem-solving skills. Through nature-based play and exploration, they develop essential life skills in a supportive and engaging setting.

Tailored Learning for Every Child

Our programs include a wide range of age-appropriate activities carefully planned to support each child’s unique developmental needs. We recognise that every child learns differently and our curriculum reflects this through personalised learning experiences.

 

Holistic Development in Early Childhood

Our educators are dedicated to creating a responsive environment that supports the physical, emotional, intellectual and social development of every child. We also cater to additional needs, ensuring an inclusive and supportive learning community for all.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)

We proudly implement Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), guiding our educational practices for children from birth to five years and supporting their transition to school.

The EYLF helps us:

  • Extend and enrich children’s learning
  • Foster a strong foundation for lifelong learning
  • Support children in reaching their full potential

Supporting the Best Start in Life

Developed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), the EYLF reflects a shared vision:

“All children have the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation.”

At Little Learners, we are committed to delivering high-quality early childhood education that empowers children to thrive—both now and into the future.
