Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our School Readiness Program is designed to bridge the gap between early education and primary school, ensuring children develop the confidence, skills, and independence needed to thrive in a formal classroom setting.

Crafted by early childhood education experts, our bespoke curriculum aligns with key learning outcomes essential for a smooth transition into kindergarten. We focus on:

Early Literacy & Numeracy – Strengthening phonics, vocabulary, and number sense through interactive activities.

Social-Emotional Development – Encouraging communication, problem-solving, and resilience.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Nourishing Young Minds: The Little Scribblers Approach To Healthy Eating

Healthy eating habits begin in early childhood, shaping a child’s long-term relationship with food. A positive, stress-free mealtime approach encourages young learners in daycare and preschool programs to explore a variety of foods while receiving the essential nutrients needed for growth and development. Partnering with Kids Gourmet Food (KGF) ensures that children enjoy fresh, nutritionally balanced meals designed specifically for childcare centres and daycare settings, supporting their overall well-being.

KGF works with qualified nutritionists and dieticians to craft menus that meet and exceed national dietary guidelines for children in early learning environments. Their carefully designed six-week rotational menu introduces children to a variety of flavours, textures, and cuisines, helping to build healthy eating habits and an appreciation for diverse foods.

All meals are freshly prepared using high-quality, seasonal ingredients and delivered daily to our childcare centres, ensuring freshness, safety, and maximum nutritional value.

Inclusivity in mealtime is essential in childcare, ensuring that every child’s dietary needs are met with care. Working closely with Kids Gourmet Food (KGF), we provide safe, nutritious, and delicious meals tailored to accommodate cultural, religious, and allergy-specific requirements. This approach guarantees that children in preschool and daycare programs enjoy well-balanced meals that support their growth and development while fostering a positive dining experience.

We know that starting solids is a significant milestone in a baby’s development. Our early learning educators work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition from milk to solids, following best-practice guidelines from Caring for Children (NSW Health).

At Little Scribblers Childcare, we provide babies with nutrient-rich, age-appropriate meals that support their development, ensuring they receive the right textures and nutrients at each stage of their growth.

Why parents love our approach to nutrition

With KGF’s expert-designed meal plans, our inclusive and adaptable approach, and our focus on positive mealtime experiences, parents can feel confident that their child is receiving the best possible nutrition in a nurturing and supportive childcare setting.

At Little Scribblers, we’re not just feeding children—we’re shaping their future relationship with food, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

I have recently moved my daughter to Little Scribblers from another daycare and must say I am very impressed! The enrolment process was a breeze, the orientation was so smooth and my daughter has settled in brilliantly (I was a bit concerned she would struggle). The educators have all been wonderful and she really looks forward to her daycare days. Would recommend!

Response from the owner 26 Nov 2025

We’re thrilled to hear that your daughter has settled in so beautifully and that the enrolment and orientation process felt smooth and supportive for your family. We’re so happy to have your family as part of our community! - The Little Scribblers Dingley Village team
