Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
"Little Flyers Learning Centres adopt a Reggio Emilia approach to learning which believes that each child develops their own unique knowledge, beliefs, culture, learning style and values. We acknowledge that families are the child’s first teachers and they are central to their child’s learning.
Our educational programs ensure each child is respected as an individual within a group and is encouraged to reach their full potential. We believe that children should develop connections and relationships with their communities and that everyone has the right to belong. Children, families and staff in our Centres will develop cultural competence and in the process, create a shared culture where everyone feels safe, included, respected and valued.
Our environments and learning experiences aspire to create positive and trustful relationships, courage, resilience, empowerment and well-being. Children are encouraged to be empathetic and caring. They will experience success, joy and celebration, by taking risks in their learning, accepting and embracing diversity, developing confidence in themselves and learning from their mistakes.
We know that children learn best when they are interested, curious and motivated. Educators will have high expectations of children and will work with them to co-construct knowledge through learning strategies such as play, inquiry, investigation and research. Educators will scaffold children’s learning, through a responsive curriculum and a commitment to assist children in their search for meaning.
We acknowledge the many ways that children express themselves and communicate. We afford children a hundred ways to express their ideas: imaginative, symbolic, cognitive and metaphorical. Educators listen, document and assess children’s theories and knowledge and share these through documentation to families and the community."

- Literacy and numeracy: the educators encourage the children’s natural curiosity through learning strategies such as play, enquiry, investigation and research. They are empowered to question the meaning behind concepts and to develop a love of learning.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
The curriculum and learning environments at Little Flyers are designed to provide every child with the opportunities they need to to explore and discover. Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the children develop a strong sense of identity and wellbeing as well as a connection to their world. They are active participants in their learning and become effective communicators.
Imaginative play is encouraged and the children have the freedom to explore their own interests and ideas. They are able to ask questions to understand the ‘why’ of things and to develop their own sense of self and independence.
Screen time within the curriculum is purposeful and linked to learning. Technology is used as a tool to enhance lessons so the children can learn how to use it safely and appropriately.
Each child has a personal learning journey that tracks their progress so parents don’t miss any important milestones.
0-2 year olds
In the dedicated infant rooms, the children are stimulated in a safe and nurturing environment. With a combination of one-on-one and group activities, the children have access to different spaces for play and rest.
For babies under the age of 12 months, the educators follow a flexible routine to cater to the needs of each child.
For the toddlers, the focus is on social and emotional development and self-discovery. Through a structured and consistent routine, the children engage in free play, group times and outdoor experiences. They discover music and language and their individual needs are encouraged and nurtured.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the educators encourage language, music, communication and problem solving skills through individual and group learning. The environment is respectful and nurturing so the children can explore and develop their independence.
Aimed at preparing the children socially and emotionally for school, the program focuses on learning experiences rather than outcomes. With qualified kindergarten teachers at the helm the children are encouraged to develop their autonomy, self-confidence and self-esteem.
The children are engaged in a variety of experiences that are designed to be flexible and cater to the needs of each child.
