My son has just started his second week at Little Scholars Redland ​Bay after moving him from another child care centre. To say we are pleased we moved is an understatement!

My son tries wearing his "kindy shirt" every day and gets upset when we tell him no kindy today, he just loves going so much!

The staff are exceptional and I love getting an update on the app on what he has done for the day. This centre continually impresses me every time I go!

The Little Scholars curriculum centres around four pillars of Grow, Learn, Inspire & Contribute.

• Nursery studio: 6 weeks to 15 months 
• Toddler studio: 15 months to 2.5 years

The centre was architecturally designed with children in mind, which explains the colourful and friendly environment that you will see on arrival. Educators help your little one to feel safe, happy and engaged. 

Parents are welcomed to the centre with comfortable chairs and a coffee machine. Educators understand that starting child care is a big step, and that’s why they’ve specifically designed the space to be homely and inviting.

The Centre Manager will be there to greet families, and parents can see what’s on the menu for the day by checking the blackboard. Parents can check on their child’s progress throughout the day by accessing the free Little Scholars App.

With a menu end endorsed by Nutrition Australia, the centre understands the critical role they play in meeting the nutritional needs of children in their care. The 4 week rotating menu offer a good variety and balance, meeting 50% of the individual dietary needs of children as advised by the Australian Dietary

Guidelines for children. Some of the children’s favourite meals and snacks are spaghetti bolognese and savoury cheese roll-ups. 

The children learn about food and healthy eating by assisting the educators with the vegetable gardens. They grow and harvest produce, and take part in regular cooking demonstrations with the centre chef.
