Kindergarten/Preschool Programs
Little Learners provides a government-approved Kindergarten Program for 4-5-year-olds, led by our experienced, Bachelor-qualified teacher with support from our skilled early childhood educators.
The Kindergarten program runs Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm, with a minimum attendance requirement of 15 hours per week, easily met by attending Little Learners for two full days.
Our program includes a thorough School Readiness component, where each child’s development is individually observed and planned for, ensuring they are well-prepared for a smooth transition to school.

Little Learners has been purpose-built with an architecturally designed, vibrant environment, catering to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, including a government-approved kindergarten programme for 4-year-olds. The centre offers eight learning rooms, each connected to both indoor and outdoor educational spaces. Separate play areas for babies and toddlers ensure their safety while promoting age-appropriate exploration. Outdoors, children enjoy a beautifully landscaped area with a bike track, veggie gardens, a theatre stage, cubby house, slides, and many other engaging activities.
Our play-based learning approach harnesses each child’s interests to develop essential skills, with a strong focus on:
- Social skills
- Numeracy
- Literacy
- Fine motor skills
- Gross motor skills
- Cultural diversity
Our educational programmes are enriched through a series of engaging events, including:
- Music and movement
- Sports, science, and book weeks
- Cooking experiences
- Exciting incursions like reptile visits and a milking cow experience
- Fun excursions to Sunshine Fire Station, Crocs Playcentre, and Forsyth Park
- Yoga sessions and beloved dress-up days
At Little Learners, we foster acceptance through a culturally rich environment, celebrating significant cultural days such as Navratri, Holi, Diwali, Chinese New Year, and Harmony Day. We’re committed to the Victorian Government’s Early Years Learning and Development Framework, ensuring all educational programme standards are met for every child.
Our Kindergarten children take part in a comprehensive School Readiness Program that prepares them for both school and life. Highlights of the program include:
- Welcome Group Time/Roll Call: A daily morning gathering to welcome the children, review the planned activities, and build a sense of belonging.
- Pre-Math Concepts: Engaging activities like measuring, volume, mixing ingredients, time concepts, counting, pattern sequencing, and simple addition/subtraction introduce children to foundational math.

- Excursion to a Local School (Term 4): A school visit to introduce children to a classroom setting and playground environment.
- Organised Incursions: Programs throughout the year include Healthy Teeth, Dog Safety, Road Safety, Music & Movement, Cooking & Science, Library Book Borrow System, and Sustainability activities, including a visit to a Broccoli Farm.

Health and Nutrition
At Little Learners, health and nutrition are at the heart of our approach. We prioritise balanced, wholesome meals made from the freshest market-sourced produce. All of our meat, fish, and poultry are locally sourced, Australian-grown, and Halal-certified, with A2 milk provided alongside alternatives for children with specific dietary requirements.
Our in-house chefs prepare five meals daily in our state-of-the-art Commercial Kitchen, equipped with advanced appliances like the Rational Combi-Oven to ensure the highest quality of cooking. We cater to all dietary needs and cultural preferences, and our nut-free and egg-free policy ensures a safe environment for children with allergies. Our strict "No Food from Home" policy further reduces risks associated with allergens.
Our menu encourages a love of nutritious foods, building a foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits. Additionally, children are actively involved in our veggie gardens, where they help to sow, water, and harvest fresh produce used in our kitchen’s meals.
Sample Menu:
- Breakfast – Selection of cereals or toast
