Little Voyagers Early Learning Centre Strathfield

Little Voyagers Programs are based on the NSW curriculum framework, as created by the Department of Community Services.

Central to the Framework is the understanding of children’s lives and their connection to family, community, culture and place. Through our programs, we aim to instil a sense of belonging, being and becoming within every child under our care. We recognise that children have strong family, community, culture and place connections which are established before birth. Throughout early childhood, children are exposed to new ideas and concepts through interactions with their family and the wider community. Little Voyagers recognise the family’s role as the original and most influential educator in the lives of children, and we encourage involvement at every stage of your child’s journey. Through participation in our programs and everyday life, children embark on a quest of discovery whilst establishing a lifelong love of learning as they navigate their way through the world.

The transition to school is not always easy for parents and children alike. Through our School Ready Voyagers program, we equip children with the skills and independence necessary to make the process as seamless as possible and give them the best chance of academic success. By nurturing children’s natural curiosity and personal interests, our educators encourage children to develop their skills within a positive and encouraging learning environment.

Children at Little Voyagers quickly develop a high level of self-confidence and the foundations necessary to excel at school and within their everyday lives. We hope to instil a lifelong love of learning within every child, with our educators taking a keen interest in the physical and mental wellbeing of each child and encouraging them to participate to the best of their abilities. Easing into the new routine, demanding tasks, rules and expectations of the school environment can be quite daunting for children. For this reason, we familiarise children with these aspects ahead of time so that they are prepared and eagerly await the next phase of their educational journey.

At our Strathfield Centre, we have a dedicated team of highly qualified educators who are passionate about early childhood education and care. Our staff prioritise the rights, safety, and wellbeing of all children, while respecting and embracing the diverse backgrounds and needs of each child.

We strive to create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment that encourages children's participation and supports the involvement of families. Our management and educator team collaborate closely to foster a positive workplace culture, consistently demonstrating professionalism and respect.

When planning and implementing learning programs, our educators consider each child's unique learning style, abilities, interests, cultural and linguistic diversity, and family circumstances. We are committed to honoring the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, fostering each child’s sense of identity.

We also encourage and support all staff in pursuing ongoing professional development to enhance their knowledge and skills.

All staff members hold valid Working with Children Checks/Cards, and all Responsible Persons, responsible for the day-to-day operation of the service, maintain current ACECQA-approved First Aid, Emergency Asthma, and Anaphylaxis qualifications.
