Our educators and staff are here to help your little one to feel safe, happy and engaged.

Melinda, our campus manager is here to greet families and answer any questions you may have. If you don't immediately see Melinda, you'll likely bump into Teresa, our 2IC, who is here to make your day easier and your child's day brighter. 

For our kindergarten children, our early childhood teachers will help your child develop all the necessary skills they can take with them as they confidently transition to prep.

In your child's studio, there is a lead educator and supporting educators to support your child's early education. Our Little Scholars’ mission is to deliver the highest quality early childhood educational experience imaginable for children and families. It is the people who make our learning environments so memorable, and it is thanks to our kind-hearted, passionate, and qualified educators who help make this possible for our Little Scholar children and families.

We have established a family-like environment where Little Scholars Early Learning is committed to ensuring all our educators have access to on-going support and training, they require to further support their professional development, and we provide every educator the opportunities they desire to reach their highest possible potential as an early childhood educator.

Our educational programs follow a curriculm we call "The Collective" and are child-led and educator supported. These weekly programs, which can be seen in our studios, are responsive to the evolving interests and needs of the children and allow for flexibility and extended periods of play and research to test theories. This enquiry-led teaching strengthens children to become competent and capable across their developmental domains. The Collective allows educators to follow the children’s lead and actively

Little Scholars offers a range of studios tailored to different age groups, each designed to enhance learning and development in a nurturing environment. From the Nursery for the youngest learners, focusing on care and comfort, to the Toddler, Pre-Kindy, and Kindergarten studios, each space is crafted to support the specific developmental stages of children up to five years old. Activities and curriculum are age-appropriate, encouraging play-based learning, social skills, and foundational education.

This streamlined approach of an emergent curriculum supports educators to adopt child development theory and put into practice.

Our educational program is based on the premise that children are most successful at learning when curriculum experiences account for children’s interests, strengths, and individual needs.

The Collective encompasses all aspects of Little Scholars, including a collaborative approach with our children, families, educators, and community.

Little Scholars believes that health and wellness is the foundation of growth, early childhood development and education. 

Developing healthy eating habits is a fundamental skill for young children and we play an important role in helping your child learn about and enjoy a variety of nutritious foods each day. That’s why our Little Scholars campuses employ qualified chefs to prepare tasty, nutritious meals and snacks in commercial kitchens. These meals are safe, developmentally appropriate and properly portioned for your child. It’s a recommendation from health authorities that children in long daycare are provided with at least 50 per cent of their daily nutritional requirements whilst they are in care.

We have an exciting rotating four-week menu that changes seasonally and incorporates a variety of flavours and textures to support our children trying new things, expanding their palates and promotes healthy eating. This menu always on display for families to have a look at, and we’re always open to suggestions from parents!

We provide your child with opportunities to enjoy healthy foods that promote growth and allow them to learn food preferences and good dietary habits that help them live a healthy lifestyle. Little Scholars offers a seasonal Feed Australia-approved weekly menu, which includes vegetarian and halal options if required. We devote significant resources to allergy requirements, all combined with our user-friendly online allergy notification system.

Healthy eating from early childhood also means children will have less chance of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. But it will also mean they feel great and enjoy life more!
Health and Wellness is essential for our Little Scholars growth and development and encourages the children to live robust, happy, and fulfilled lives.

Bush & Beach Kinder Our little scholars explore Mother Nature daily which is literally on their doorstep. They step outside and become outdoor explorers and the rest is history.

Pram Kinder No matter how little you are, even our littlest scholars partake in outdoor adventures and become outdoor explorers.

Yoga Watch out for your competitor yogi friends because yoga is on the weekly agenda for our little scholars! Yoga is more than just a fun activity; it is an outlet for coping with stresses and promotes a happy mind.

Sport Think personalised obstacle classes, soccer, swimming and more. Our little scholars are supported with expert teachers who promote fun and educational fitness lessons for the children.

Absolutely adore this kindy, we had transitioned from another kindy early into the year and they made the whole experience so much easier! Very grateful for my kids to go through their first years of their learning journeys at little scholars and be taught by the most kind hearted educators. The communication from the team is fantastic, and it’s obvious how much love and effort goes into creating fun, engaging activities for the children. Our child absolutely loves going to kindy and has grown so much socially and emotionally since starting.<br><br>We’re so grateful to all of the amazing educators for everything they do. We highly recommend this kindy to any family looking for a caring and supportive place for their little one!

Great staff, amazing food, I've sent both of my boys here and I'd send the third if I had one 😂

The educators are caring, professional, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. The campus provides a warm, safe, and engaging environment. I highly recommend this centre to any family looking for quality early education.

We moved our son to Little Scholars Burleigh Waters at the beginning of this year and have been so happy with our decision. He has made beautiful friendships and been wonderfully supported in his learning and development. We love the centre’s smaller, more intimate feel, which allows the educators to build genuine connections with the children and families. The educators are warm, experienced, and caring, and the consistency of having many long-term staff creates a nurturing environment where the children thrive.

Lovely staff. Children can’t wait to be left in the morning with the girls and never wanting to leave at the end of the day
