Who we are

Choosing childcare is about finding people you trust. At Little Learners Academy, we take time to get to know your child—their interests, routines, strengths and the things that help them feel comfortable.

Our Austral, Rossmore and Thirlmere centres bring together caring educators, inviting play spaces and everyday opportunities to learn. We work with families to help children build confidence, friendships and independence.

Care that feels personal

We are an Australian, family-owned early learning community. Our approach combines nurturing relationships with thoughtful teaching, so children can explore at their own pace and feel supported as they try something new.

Families are part of that learning. Your knowledge of your child helps our educators plan experiences that are meaningful, inclusive and connected to life at home.

Early Years Learning Framework

Our programme is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Educators build on children’s interests through planned experiences, spontaneous play and reflection. The framework’s five learning outcomes guide our work with children and families:

French language learning is now offered at all three centres, with a specialist French teacher leading multiple age-group sessions throughout the week. It gives children another opportunity to explore communication and discover different languages and cultures. Learn about our French program.

Outcome 1

Children develop a strong sense of identity.

Outcome 2

Children are connected with and contribute to their world.

Outcome 3

Children maintain a strong sense of wellbeing.

Outcome 4

Children become confident and involved learners.

Outcome 5

Children emerge as effective communicators.

We offer a range of activities

Community experiences give children opportunities to meet people, ask questions and discover more about the places around them. Activities vary by centre and programme; ask your educators what is coming up.

Local Heroes Visits

Visits from community members, such as firefighters or police officers, give children a chance to ask questions and learn about the people who help us.

Excursions beyond the centre

Excursions can connect children’s interests with real places and experiences. Your centre will share planned visits, arrangements and consent information with families.

Community Workshops

Small workshops and connections with local businesses can introduce children to new skills, materials and ideas.

Partnerships with Local Schools

Connections with local schools help children explore the next stage of their learning. Ask your centre about its current school transition activities.
We support NSW Health’s Munch & Move programme, bringing healthy eating and active play into everyday experiences. Children have opportunities to move, explore food and enjoy play with their peers.

I honestly couldn't be happier with Little Learners! The educators are incredibly kind, patient and genuinely care about the children. From day one, they made both us and our child feel so welcome, which made the transition into childcare much easier. It's clear that so much thought goes into the daily activities, and it's been amazing to see how much our child has grown in confidence and independence. The communication is fantastic, and I always feel informed and confident that my child is being well looked after. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a supportive and nurturing environment. I highly recommend this centre to any family looking for exceptional care.

We couldn’t be happier with Little Learners Academy in Rossmore. It is a beautiful centre that provides such a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for children. The educators are amazing - caring, supportive, and incredibly professional. Our children genuinely look forward to going each day and always come home smiling! Staff are great - friendly, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child’s development.

We’ve had such a positive experience with Little Learners. The team is friendly, supportive, and always goes above and beyond to make the children feel comfortable and cared for. It’s so nice knowing our child is happy, having fun, and learning new things every day. We’re so grateful for everything they do and would definitely recommend the centre to other families.
