At Little Voyagers Early Learning Centre, we acknowledge the Traditional
Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and play, and we pay respect to
Elders past, present, and emerging.
We believe the early years are a time of wonder, discovery, and connection.
Relationships, belonging, and play are central to each child’s learning journey. We
recognise that every child is capable, resilient, and unique, with their own
strengths, interests, and perspectives.
Children learn best through play, curiosity, and exploration. We create
opportunities for children to take risks, express themselves, solve problems, and
discover new ideas. We nurture a positive sense of identity and wellbeing,
ensuring children feel safe, respected, and confident to share their thoughts,
feelings, and creativity.
We recognise families as children’s first and most influential teachers. We value
the knowledge, culture, and traditions they bring, and we build strong
partnerships where families feel respected, supported, and involved. Open
communication and collaboration ensure families are informed and consulted
about their child’s learning, routines, and development.
Our educators are dedicated, passionate, and professional role models. We
foster a supportive and respectful workplace where educators can reflect, grow,
and share their expertise. Professional learning and mentoring strengthen
practice, and educators’ voices are essential in shaping the quality of our service.
We believe the environment is the third teacher. Safe, inclusive, and inspiring
spaces reflect children’s learning, interests, and creativity. Well-designed
environments encourage exploration, imagination, and meaningful connections,
while supporting both active play and quiet reflection. We also value our
responsibility to care for the natural world and foster environmental awareness
through sustainable practices.
We celebrate diversity and inclusion through a curriculum that reflects the
voices, cultures, and identities of our children, families, and community.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are embedded throughout our
program, and we are committed to building respectful connections with local
Elders and community members. Our play-based, open-ended experiences are
engaging, challenging, and accessible, allowing every child to participate, learn,
and thrive.
At Little Voyagers, we provide the highest quality of care and education in a
nurturing, welcoming, and respectful environment. Through strong partnerships,
shared respect, and a commitment to continuous growth, we ensure every child,
family, and educator feels connected, supported, and inspired.

At Little Voyagers Early Learning Centre, the safety and wellbeing of children is our highest priority. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child feels secure, respected, and valued.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse, harm, and neglect, and we actively uphold the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. Our educators and staff are dedicated to maintaining a strong culture of child safety through supervision, professional practice, and open communication with children and families.

At Little Voyagers ELC, every child has the right to feel safe, be safe, and be heard.

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.

Starting school is an important milestone, and the transition can be both exciting and challenging for children and families. Through our School Readiness Program, we support children to develop the confidence, independence, and foundational skills needed to make this transition as smooth and positive as possible, giving them the best opportunity for future success.

Our educators nurture children’s natural curiosity, interests, and strengths within a supportive and engaging learning environment. We focus on building essential school readiness skills such as communication, social interaction, problem-solving, self-help skills, and emotional regulation. These skills help children feel capable, confident, and prepared to participate fully in their new school setting.

A key component of our program is our School Readiness Book and our purposefully designed School Readiness Curriculum, developed by our educators to support children’s social and emotional development. Through this curriculum, children learn to recognise and understand their emotions, build resilience, develop positive relationships, practice problem-solving, and learn strategies to manage challenges. These experiences help children build emotional confidence and strengthen their ability to cope with new situations and transitions.

At Little Voyagers, children develop strong self-confidence and resilience, along with the foundations necessary to succeed both at school and in everyday life. We aim to foster a lifelong love of learning by supporting each child’s physical, social, and emotional wellbeing and encouraging them to try new experiences and challenge themselves.

We understand that adjusting to new routines, expectations, and responsibilities can feel overwhelming for some children. For this reason, we gradually introduce school-like experiences, including group times, structured learning, following instructions, developing independence, and building responsibility. By familiarising children with these expectations ahead of time, we help them feel prepared, confident, and excited to begin the next stage 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.
