Located just a quick drive from Hilton via Collick St and South St/State Route 13, Little Learners is dedicated to providing exceptional early learning experiences for children aged 0-6 years. At Little Learners, we understand that the early years are a crucial period in a child’s life, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and development.
Our Philosophy: A Blend of EYLF and Reggio Emilia
We are proud to implement the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) alongside the Reggio Emilia approach, two esteemed educational philosophies that together create a dynamic and enriching environment for young minds. The EYLF emphasises the importance of play-based learning, recognising that children learn best when they are engaged in meaningful activities that spark their curiosity and creativity. It focuses on five key learning outcomes: children have a strong sense of identity, are connected with and contribute to their world, have a strong sense of well-being, are confident and involved learners and are effective communicators.
The Reggio Emilia approach complements this framework by encouraging exploration, discovery and self-expression. This child-centred philosophy views children as capable and competent, encouraging them to take an active role in their own learning journey. Our educators act as guides and co-learners, fostering an environment where children’s ideas and interests drive the learning process.
Preparing for Formal Schooling
By integrating these two powerful approaches, Little Learners ensures that children are not only having fun but also gaining the skills and knowledge necessary for a smooth transition to formal schooling. Our curriculum is designed to promote critical thinking, problem-solving and social-emotional skills. Through collaborative projects, hands-on activities and a rich array of learning materials, children develop a love for learning that will serve them well throughout their educational journey.
