Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Monique, and I am the Centre Manager here at Lilliput World of Learning. My early learning journey began in 2007, and I joined Lilliput World of Learning in 2018. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.

I always knew I wanted to mentor and guide others in this sector to provide children with the best possible start in their early years. To achieve this, I worked diligently to become a Centre Manager. In this role, I can guide my team to excel, ensuring that children have the best chance to thrive during their crucial first five years.

Every child is unique and requires different support to become confident learners. I have learnt that each day brings new experiences, and children are our greatest teachers. They lead with their interests and thrive in a play-based environment enriched by adult engagement and support.

A dedicated early learning environment allows children to discover their interests and passions. It is essential to me that children feel a sense of agency and choice, engaging in activities they love and feel confident doing. This foundation sets them up for future success, enabling them to make important decisions and critically reflect on their choices. In the first five years, socialisation is crucial, helping children form friendships and learn to work and play with others. Early education also prepares them emotionally for school.

My team is composed of long-serving, gentle, and loving members. With low turnover, we have built strong bonds with our children, which is vital for maintaining relationships that benefit their future lives. We are always here for families, showing care, listening to their concerns, and loving their children as if they were our own. We assist wherever we can, whether it's supporting children's development or simply providing a friendly ear. We are like family to our families, and they are the same for us. We encourage open conversations, respectful interactions, and the building of friendships with our families.
