Our Learning Program
The Little Souls Early Childhood Program is designed to meet the unique needs of each child by considering their individual interests, cultural background, and developmental abilities. This approach ensures every child is included and given the opportunity to grow and thrive in an environment that respects and celebrates their uniqueness. Through play-based learning, children are encouraged to explore, question, and develop new skills in a supportive setting. Our educators plan and implement a wide range of experiences that address all developmental areas—cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. This dynamic approach helps create an engaging and stimulating educational environment where children are inspired to discover, learn, and reach their full potential.


The Early Years Learning Framework
Our programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), focusing on its key elements—Principles, Practices, and Learning Outcomes—to create personalised learning experiences. We nurture children’s growth in a supportive, empowering environment, fostering curiosity and exploration. Valuing children’s agency, we encourage active participation in their learning journey. Through regular observations, we identify each child’s needs and interests, adapting our programs to ensure they have the guidance and opportunities to thrive.
Our Learning Environments
Our learning environments are designed to promote success and lifelong learning. With multiple indoor and outdoor play spaces offering diverse learning opportunities, children are encouraged to explore, inquire, and lead their own learning based on their interests. These spaces inspire curiosity and support growth across all developmental areas. We foster a safe, supportive atmosphere where children feel confident to engage in their learning journey. Our educators collaborate with families to meet each child's unique needs, ensuring a holistic approach to nurturing their potential.
What a Typical Day Looks Like
Throughout the day, children engage in a diverse range of activities and experiences that build on their existing knowledge and encourage the development of their curiosity and love for learning. They have the opportunity to interact with peers of varying age groups, fostering social growth and collaborative play. The day is thoughtfully structured to support each child’s emerging interests, providing ample opportunities for child-led play and exploration, allowing them to take the lead in their learning journey.

At Little Souls, our dedicated team of qualified educators recognises the impact each day has on your child’s development. They create personalised learning opportunities based on each child's strengths, needs, and interests. As part of our commitment to Early childhood development, our educators participate in a comprehensive training program, which is a key aspect of our early intervention approach covering areas of behaviour management, social inclusion, and relationship-building. Our centre also uses cameras to support our training program, combining video and performance evaluations for continuous professional growth.
Our Educators
As a family-oriented centre, we prioritise family input and active participation. We greatly value feedback and ideas, recognising each family’s unique hopes and goals for their child. We strive to incorporate these perspectives into the planning and implementation of our program. Families can stay connected through our online platform, where they can view learning stories and daily photos. We foster open communication through regular interactions and offer opportunities for families to engage in the classroom, whether through events or sharing their skills and talents with the children.

School Readiness

We believe that a comprehensive and consistent program is essential for equipping children with the social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Throughout our entire program, we embed school readiness activities and routines to ensure children are consistently exposed to key learning opportunities that support this transition.
At Little Souls, we focus on preparing children to be socially, emotionally, and academically ready for school. Social skills are a major component of this process, so we place a strong emphasis on fostering each child’s ability to interact with peers. Both structured and spontaneous opportunities for peer interaction help children practice turn-taking, sharing, and collaborating in groups, while building confidence in helping one another.
Emotionally, children develop readiness for school through exposure to daily routines. These routines provide a sense of structure and stability, while also offering opportunities for children to navigate and adapt to change with the support of our educators. Our focus on self-help skills—including toileting, hygiene, packing away, and everyday tasks like hand washing and putting on shoes—ensures that children gain the independence they need for school life.
Our intentional teaching activities, which cover areas such as literacy, numeracy, music, art, physical health, fine motor skills, science, and creativity, help prepare children academically. We aim to nurture children into confident, eager learners who are well-prepared to enter school with enthusiasm and a sense of ease in their new environment.
