Extra Programs

Children learn through movement, making, exploring and connecting. Alongside our everyday curriculum, we offer French with a specialist teacher at all three centres. Other experiences below vary by centre, age group and children’s interests—ask your educators what is currently offered.

AVAILABLE AT EVERY CENTRE

Say bonjour to French

Children at Austral, Rossmore and Thirlmere can now learn French with a specialist French teacher experienced in teaching children. Multiple sessions throughout the week are split into age groups.

Exposure to another language gives children opportunities to practise listening, discover new sounds and words, and develop curiosity about other cultures.

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.
