Children at the Heart
At Little Scribblers, every child is valued as a capable, curious and competent learner. We believe childhood is a time to belong, to be, and to become. We create meaningful opportunities for children to explore, discover, create and grow at their own pace through play, relationships and authentic experiences.

Keeping Children Safe
The safety, wellbeing and rights of every child are our highest priority. We provide physically, emotionally and culturally safe environments where children feel secure, respected, heard and valued. We empower children to express their ideas, make choices and develop confidence, knowing trusted adults will always listen, protect and advocate for them. We are committed to building trusting relationships where every child develops a strong sense of belonging and feels safe to explore, learn and thrive.

Learning Through Play
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe children are capable, curious and creative learners. Through play, inquiry, investigation and thoughtfully designed learning environments, educators work alongside children as co-learners, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, problem-solving and a lifelong love of learning. We intentionally follow children’s interests, recognising everyday moments as opportunities for meaningful learning, discovery and growth.

Independence and Capability
Guided by Maria Montessori’s belief to “Help me do it myself,” we create environments that foster independence, responsibility and confidence. Children are encouraged to make choices, care for themselves, care for others and become active participants in their own learning. We recognise children’s voices, choices and ideas as essential in shaping their learning, empowering them to become confident, capable and engaged learners.

Partnerships that Matter
Families are children’s first and most influential teachers. We value genuine partnerships built on trust, open communication and mutual respect. By working together with families and our community, we create consistency between home and the service, ensuring every child feels known, supported and able to thrive.

Belonging for Everyone
We celebrate diversity, inclusion and equity. Every child and family is welcomed, respected and valued for who they are. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as Australia’s First Peoples and embed respect for culture, identity, sustainability and community throughout everyday learning.

Growing Together
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) V2.0 and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), we engage in ongoing reflection, collaboration and continuous improvement to strengthen our practice. Together with children, families and educators, we continually reflect on our philosophy and practices to ensure they remain responsive, meaningful and reflective of our shared values. We value each child as an individual, honour their voice, celebrate their strengths and continue learning alongside one another.

Little Scribblers School Readiness Program: Preparing Your Child for Success

At Little Scribblers, 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.

✔︎ Fine & Gross Motor Skills – Developing handwriting readiness and coordination.

Enhancing Learning with ABC Reading Eggs

To further enrich our literacy program, we incorporate , an award-winning digital platform that makes learning to read fun and engaging. This research-based tool supports children in developing phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and comprehension skills, setting them ahead for primary school.

By combining structured learning experiences with play-based discovery, our School Readiness Program ensures every child enters kindergarten feeling confident, prepared, and excited to learn.

At Little Scribblers Belmore, nothing is more important than the safety, wellbeing and protection of every child in our care.

We understand that choosing a preschool or childcare centre is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. As a family-owned and operated service, we take that responsibility seriously, creating a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment where every child feels protected, respected and valued.

🛡️ Safer Recruitment & Thorough Screening

Child safety begins with the people we welcome into our centre.

Our recruitment process includes Working with Children Checks (WWCC), police checks, professional reference checks and careful interviews to ensure our educators share our commitment to child protection, professional conduct and children's wellbeing.

Our educators participate in ongoing training and professional development covering child protection, safe sleep practices, active supervision, emergency procedures and recognising and responding to concerns.

We believe child safety is everyone's responsibility, every single day. It is embedded in our professional practices, team discussions and everyday decisions.

👀 Active Supervision & Safe Learning Environments

Whether children are exploring our art studio, enjoying music, participating in cooking experiences, developing physical skills or playing outdoors, their safety always comes first.

Our educators maintain active supervision, conduct regular safety checks, identify potential hazards and follow established risk management procedures.

Specialist learning spaces and activities are supported by appropriate supervision and safety practices so children can explore, discover and learn with confidence.

😴 Safe Sleep & Rest Practices

We recognise the importance of safe sleep and rest, particularly for our youngest children.

Our educators follow safe sleep procedures, including appropriate sleep environments, active supervision and regular physical checks.

We work closely with families to understand each child's individual rest needs while maintaining safe sleep requirements.

📱 Digital Safety & Privacy Protection

Protecting children extends beyond our physical environment.

We maintain clear policies and procedures relating to digital technologies, personal devices, photography and the secure handling of children's images and personal information.

Children's privacy, dignity and protection remain central to our practices.

🌈 Empowering Children & Protecting Their Rights

We believe every child has the right to feel safe, be heard and be treated with kindness and respect.

Through age-appropriate learning experiences and everyday conversations, we help children understand personal boundaries, recognise their feelings, develop protective behaviours and confidently communicate with trusted adults.

Our multicultural Belmore team celebrates different languages, cultures and family backgrounds, creating an inclusive environment where every child's voice matters.

🧼 Health, Hygiene & Everyday Wellbeing

From handwashing and cleaning routines to illness management, food safety and allergy awareness, our educators follow health and hygiene procedures designed to protect children's wellbeing.

We also recognise the importance of emotional wellbeing, providing nurturing relationships and supportive environments where children feel secure and understood.

🤝 Open Communication & Strong Family Partnerships

We know that peace of mind comes from knowing your child is safe, happy and well cared for.

Our team values open, honest communication and encourages families to share questions, concerns and information about their child's individual needs.

We follow established procedures for documenting, communicating and responding to incidents and concerns affecting children's safety.

📋 Strong Leadership, Policies & Accountability

Our commitment to child safety is supported by clear policies, comprehensive inductions, ongoing risk assessments, regular safety reviews and leadership oversight.

Led by our Nominated Supervisors, Kimmy and Mayara, our Belmore team works together to maintain a culture of safety, accountability and continuous improvement.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse, neglect and inappropriate conduct, with clear responsibilities for recognising, reporting and responding to concerns.

For families across Belmore and Lakemba and surrounding communities, our commitment is to provide a safe, inclusive and nurturing preschool and childcare environment where children can learn, explore and grow with confidence.

Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, respected and protected, every single day. ❤️
