At Little Learners Academy, we hold the firm belief that children, families, staff, and the community are all essential components that collectively shape the heart of our learning environment.
At Little Learners Academy, we view children as unique and capable individuals, each bringing their own set of interests, talents, skills, and ideas to our academy. As educators, we deeply value, respect, and appreciate this individuality, acknowledging children as active participants in their learning journey. We encourage their development through exploration, discovery, and questioning, empowering them to construct their own knowledge and express their ideas.
Guided by the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) - Belonging, Being, and Becoming, we strive to create a meaningful, integrated, and emergent curriculum spanning all developmental domains. Our programs embrace both planned and spontaneous experiences, designed to support children's growth in various areas. This flexibility is rooted in children's observations, interests, intentional teaching, family involvement, and reflection.
Recognizing the significance of family values, beliefs, and cultures, we are committed to open and constructive communication with families. Actively involving them in program development and implementation, we seek their input, ideas, knowledge, and experiences. Building positive, mutually respectful relationships with each family member is a priority, as we work in partnership to achieve the best outcomes for all.
Our educators, carefully chosen for their passion and motivation to work with children and families, are central to our vision. We emphasise building strong relationships through open communication, trust, and respect. Educators' opinions and beliefs are valued, supported through daily discussions and planned staff meetings, fostering a collaborative decision-making environment. Continuous professional development opportunities ensure educators stay abreast of the latest in early childhood education.
We acknowledge the pivotal role of the environment in enhancing children's learning and development. Our educators create safe, secure, homelike, and consistent environments that support trust, familiarity, and active exploration. Learning spaces are designed to reflect and enrich the lives and identities of children and families, responding to their interests and needs. We cater to different capacities and learning styles, inviting input from children and families.
Striving for excellence, Little Learners Academy is committed to adhering to all legislations, regulations, and the National Quality Standards (2018). We see ourselves as a vital part of the community, providing information and support to children and families. Our goal is to offer a service reflective of community needs, utilising resources and events effectively to enhance the growth and development of individual children, families, and educators."
Little Learners Academy Austral is a beautiful centre. It’s hard to find such a hands on director at childcare centre these days. The educators are phenomenal. They go above and beyond to cater all our needs and my toddler is extremely happy and thrives at this centre. Highly recommend to all parents out there! You know your kids are in good hands.
Very thankful to the team at Little Learners Academy Austral, they have been so helpful in helping my daughter adapt to childcare with there gentle and thoughtful approach. The centre is big enough for the kids but also they only have 50 kids at the centre so you feel like your not sending your child to a chaotic place with a lot of kids, they still that special care that smaller centres provide.
Great centre always clean & tidy, staff are very supportive & welcoming. The learning programs for the children are educational especially the school readiness programs. Children are assisted to make friends & learn social skills through their interactions. I would recommend Kids Kinder to everyone!
I have my children in this centre, i am very happy since the new management took over. The staffs and the service is amazing, every day fresh food cooked for children and children are fed and cared so well. Centre always clean and tidy. I would highly recommend this centre
Our 4 & 2 year old love this childcare. They look forward to play with their friends and meet their teachers during their school days. Teachers are amazing there. Sally (Director) and her team are very experience, easy to communicate, and provide plenty of feedbacks for my kids. I learnt a lot about our kids from the teachers.
3 of my children have attended this childcare over the years and I can not fault them at all. If you want your child to be treated as one of their own and feel like they are at home, safe and cared for then this is the place to be! Very clean, family oriented, inclusive, diverse, fed well and most importantly loved!
My previous childcare centre wasn't what meeting my son's needs so when I searched for a quality centre for pre school, Little Learners Academy came up and I just say I was impressed by how clean and professional they were. My son had speech delay and always played on his own at the old centre, I noticed such a big difference from the 1st week how talkative he got and love the fact that they have a buddy system so no child is ever playing alone. I only wish I found it sooner as my son flourished. Best staff a love the activities they have for them little Joeys, dance worx and happy feet. Best center!
Little Learners Academy is a fantastic organisation which has never disappointed my family and I. The educators are so welcoming , bubbly and always smiling. This centre has changed my child in so many ways and ensured my child got best of the best . Thank you ladies so much! You're the best.
