Nursery

For infants from 6 weeks to 20 months, our purpose-built nursery is fully equipped with a hygienic nappy change area, kitchenette and Australian Standard Cots and is a safe, calm and comforting environment. We offer the experience, support and guidance your little one needs.

Toddler

A room for our 2-year-olds. As your little one grows and begins to explore, their personalities starting to develop, we nurture them through toddlerhood with age appropriate experiences, as well as programs to encourage new skills and nutritious food to help them grow.

Pre-Kinder

As your child reaches 3 years old, they will be introduced to new and exciting challenges and experiences, preparing them for kinder and eventually school. Our pre-kinder room offers structured curriculum and play, fostering early learning and building confidence and social skills.

Kinder

Kindergarten is an exciting milestone for any 4 to 5-year-old. As their abilities and strengths are growing, they require more structured education to develop their social and learning skills. Our kinder room offers a government funded School-Readiness program to develop numeracy, literacy and writing skills.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Framework and National Quality Framework and is Interest, strength-based learning which is the foundation of our programs. As a parent, you will enjoy seeing your child’s individuality, talents and confidence grow as a result of attending Little Beginnings.

These early years are so critical — we have a focus on identifying, nurturing and celebrating your child’s individuality. We use a program called Storypark where families can view their child’s progress and be interactive in sharing wonderful holidays or other information directly with the educators. We also offer transition reports for our children moving from Kinder to School.

By employing an approach where the interests and strengths of the child guides their education journey our centre can help to build your child’s confidence, independence and social skills in preparation for their future.

We offer different experiences, lessons and programs to bring learning to life in the form of numeracy, literacy, group time, public speaking, name writing, computer skills and music and dancing, along with special educational programs and activities, such as chicken hatching and visits from animal experts and other educators.
