Meet Leticia and Isabela – The Heart of Little Scribblers Brookvale! ❤️

At Little Scribblers Brookvale, we're lucky to have two wonderful leaders, Leticia and Isabela, who bring warmth, passion and a genuine love for early childhood education to our preschool and childcare community.

Together, they create a welcoming, nurturing and happy environment where every child feels safe, valued and encouraged to be themselves. They believe that childhood should be filled with laughter, discovery, friendships and meaningful learning experiences.

With a shared passion for play-based learning, inspired by the Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches, Leticia and Isabela work closely with their dedicated team of educators to nurture children's curiosity, independence, confidence and love of learning.

Building strong relationships with families is at the heart of their approach. They understand that every child is unique and that choosing the right childcare is an important decision. Through open communication, genuine care and a collaborative approach, they strive to ensure every family feels welcomed, supported and part of the Little Scribblers community.

From those precious first days in childcare to the exciting milestones of our Preschool Journey, Leticia and Isabela are passionate about making every child's early years happy, memorable and full of opportunities to grow.

Come and meet Leticia, Isabela and our wonderful Brookvale team! We'd love to welcome your family and show you what makes Little Scribblers Brookvale such a special place to learn, play and belong. ❤️

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.

Safety – Our Highest Priority, Every Child, Every Day ❤️

At Little Scribblers Brookvale, the safety, wellbeing and protection of every child is paramount. Nothing is more important to us than providing a safe, nurturing and secure environment where children feel protected, respected and valued.

As a family-owned and operated Preschool & Childcare, proudly serving the Northern Beaches community for 10 years, we understand the enormous trust families place in us. That trust is something we take seriously, every single day.

🛡️ Safer Recruitment & Thorough Screening

Child safety begins long before an educator enters our classrooms. Our recruitment process includes Working with Children Checks (WWCC), police checks, professional reference checks and careful interviews.

We look beyond qualifications to ensure our educators share our commitment to child protection, professional conduct and children's wellbeing.

🎓 Ongoing Child Protection Training

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

Child safety isn't a one-off training session. It is an ongoing responsibility embedded in our daily practices, conversations and professional learning.

👀 Active Supervision & Safe Environments

Whether children are exploring outdoors, participating in learning experiences, enjoying meals or resting, their safety remains our priority.

Our educators maintain active supervision, conduct regular safety checks, identify potential hazards and follow established risk management procedures to support safe indoor and outdoor environments.

😴 Safe Sleep & Rest Practices

We recognise how important safe sleep is, particularly for our youngest children.

Our educators follow safe sleep and rest procedures, including appropriate sleep environments, 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 the physical environment.

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

Our approach prioritises children's privacy, dignity and protection in both physical and digital environments.

🌈 Empowering Children & Protecting Their Rights

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

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

We promote positive guidance, respectful relationships and an inclusive environment where children's voices matter.

🧼 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 throughout the day.

🤝 Open Communication & Partnerships with Families

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

We value open, honest communication and encourage families to share questions, concerns and information about their child's individual needs.

Our team follows established procedures for documenting, communicating and responding to incidents, concerns and matters 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.

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

❤️ Your Child's Safety Is Our Promise

Choosing a preschool, childcare or day care service in Brookvale is one of the most important decisions a family makes.
