There has never been a day since her enrolment where she has not been excited to come in and see her friends and educators. This has made drop offs a breeze for us and even more so, very reassuring that she is having a great time.

Working at Little Scholars is amazing! We are so supported and inspired by each other everyday.

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.

Pre-school / Kindergarten / PrepPre-school is a planned educational program for children in the years before a child commences school. Children are usually aged between 3 and 5 years of age. Pre-school may take place in a range of settings including a purpose built building, in a community setting, a school, as part of a long day care centre or a mobile or visiting service.
In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
