Your childcare questions, answered

Where are your centres?

Our current centres are in Austral (105A Ninth Avenue), Rossmore (30 Whitaker Road) and Thirlmere (40 Rita Street). Compare our locations to find the centre that suits your family.

What are your opening hours?

Our Austral, Rossmore and Thirlmere centres open from 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday. Ask your centre about public holidays and any planned closures.

How do I get started?

Start with a centre tour or register your interest. Share your preferred centre, care days and start date. Our team will discuss availability and guide you through enrolment. An enquiry or waiting-list registration does not confirm a place.

Prepare for starting childcare.

What are your childcare fees?

Contact your preferred centre for current daily fees and availability. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your bookings and any Child Care Subsidy you receive. We can explain what is included before you make a decision.

Read our fees and subsidy guide.

Is Child Care Subsidy available?

Child Care Subsidy may help eligible families with the cost of approved care. Services Australia assesses eligibility and pays the subsidy to the provider to reduce your fees. Check with our team and read the current Services Australia eligibility guidance.

Are meals and essentials included?

Our three centres include meals and snacks, nappies, wipes and sunscreen. Speak with your educators about dietary requirements, allergies and what to pack for your child.

How do you help children settle in?

We take time to learn about your child’s routines, interests and comfort needs. Talk with the centre about orientation and settling-in arrangements, and let us know what helps your child feel secure.

Explore our settling-in guide.

Do you offer a school readiness programme?

Yes. Our holistic approach helps children practise independence, communication, friendships, early literacy and numeracy through play and everyday experiences. Explore our preschool and school readiness programme.

How will I hear about my child’s day?

We use conversations with families and daily updates through OWNA to share learning and everyday moments. Let your educators know if you would like to discuss anything in more detail.

What activities do children enjoy?

Experiences respond to children’s ages, interests and development. These can include art, books, outdoor play, music, gardening and movement. See our extra programmes and ask your centre what is currently offered.

We also offer French language learning at all three centres. A specialist French teacher experienced in teaching children leads multiple sessions each week, split into age groups. Children can explore new sounds and words, practise listening and develop curiosity about another language and culture. Ask your centre about the current timetable.

What if my child has allergies or additional support needs?

Please discuss your child’s needs with the Director before starting. We will talk through relevant information, routines and planning with you so the team understands the support your child needs.

What does the four weeks free offer include?

Your child needs to be enrolled for a minimum of three days per week. After three months of enrolment, you will be eligible for four free weeks. The offer is not valid with any other offer unless stated otherwise. Ask our team to confirm eligibility, availability and how the offer applies to your enrolment.

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.
