Working With You Towards A Successful Education
At Little Scribblers, our early years program adopts the principle that children are natural learners who develop at their own pace. Our early learning program is flexible, individual, and engaging.
Nursery
6 weeks - 2 years
Infants develop best when they have a trusted educator. Each child receives oodles of individual attention and loving care. We create experience-filled opportunities. Our trained educators nurture babies to provide strong foundations for ongoing learning.
At Little Scribblers Early Learning Centres we know how important it is for young babies and their families, that their home routine is replicated within our centres, so we encourage families work with us as we integrate these routines. We know that young children need to feel safe, and secure in order to grow.
Toddlers
2 - 3 years
Toddlers are full of energy and curiosity. It’s the perfect time for plenty of active play, indoors and out. We encourage toddlers to express themselves in different ways. We listen, as your child’s independence grows.
The Little Scribblers Toddler curriculum is based on the principals that 2-3 year olds are amazing learners, that we respect toddlers as equal human beings with rights, deserving of dignity and respect and the principle that it is our qualified educators who build sheltered and joint relationships for developing identity, connection to others; communication; learning and belonging.
Junior Pre-Schoolers
3 - 4 years
We commence early stages of our Pre-Kindergarten program from the age of 3 in preparation for Pre-School.
We understand the importance of starting the children off on the right foot for their life long learning journey. Developing early literacy and early numeracy skills are very important part of this first step. At Little Scribblers we ensure that we are fostering this skill by relating to pre-literacy and pre-numeracy concepts in our everyday learning environment through experimentation, hypothesising, enquiry and reasoning.
Pre-Kindy
4 - 5 years
These children have a limitless imagination. One minute they’re a taxi-driver. The next, they’re transforming into superheroes to save the world. We encourage their “be anything” attitude. They also develop advanced ways for learning as they get older.
The Pre-School program balances structure and free choice as well as quiet times. Two types of informal activity are used in the program – developmental play and project work. Developmental play consists of making available a variety of activities from which the children can choose to play.
Play Based Learning
Children learn so much through play. They explore, discover, negotiate, take risks, create meaning and solve problems. They build all the important foundations for developing literacy, numeracy and social skills.
While it may sound simple and easy, play-based learning is a complex form of natural enquiry. It requires an experienced educator who knows each child’s overall development, emerging strengths and interests.
preparing for school success
- Free subscription to a phonics program.
- Weekly homework program.
- Focused literacy and numeracy skills.
Daycare Fitness Program
We have partnered with Soccajoeys to provide a fun and healthy Soccer Program. This Program has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Children have the opportunity to develop skills including:
- Gross motor skills.
- Coordination.
- Group interaction.
- Confidence and self-esteem.
EYLF Based Curriculum
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is the basis of our programming at Little Scribblers. The Framework recognises that early childhood is a vital period in children’s learning and development. EYLF embodies the idea of ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’.
The EYLF defines the principles, practices and outcomes essential to every early learning program and is designed to ensure all children, from birth to five years of age, receive high-quality learning experiences.

Little Scribblers is a Family Business, we're - Jackie and Silvia- sisters, in fact, we're Twins. WE LOVE working with children in a preschool setting, and are both passionate about children and their learning! Our story is quite interesting and what we believe is very similar to what every working parent believes, in quality care, where education is beyond imagination.
About twelve years ago Silvia needed to get back to work and was quite saddened and even dismayed as we visited local centres looking for the right place for her daughter. Initially, she was enrolled in a family centre that loved and cared for her very much, however, we soon had to move to a new house which meant we had to find a new centre.
The struggle repeated as we searched and searched for a centre that had that wow factor, we wanted a centre where education and learning were imperative. Eventually, we decided to take a risk, and open our own…we were able to offer an innovative, stimulating and refreshing approach to traditional childcare.
We were so excited to plant the seed of our very own brand new franchise of Little Scribblers. The funny thing is, by following our dream and taking a leap, we found life's calling - children and preschool services. Let us remind you that, first and foremost, we are PARENTS - just like you.
We very much enjoy owning our boutique styled franchise, we have a strong team, both our husbands are also involved in the family franchise, which helps make the strong team.
I hope that after you decide to tour our program and enrol, that we will become partners in your child's education and daily care. At Little Scribblers Early Learning Centres, we LOVE what we do and accept nothing but the very best. Welcome to our School!
