The Importance of Early Learning

Little Taddies is guided by the National Quality Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework. They help to guide and shape the curriculum for all education and care services for children under the age of 12 years across Australia.

The first five years are the most important years for brain development. During this time, children's brains grow and form connections faster than they ever will again, laying the foundation for future learning and development. For this reason, high quality interactions with trusted adults and peers will assist in the learning processes for your child and will set them up for learning at school and throughout their lives. 

Our educators understand the importance of this learning and development for all children, and as such are committed to ongoing professional development to stay current in their knowledge of how best to provide an interesting and developmentally appropriate program for the children who attend Little Taddies. Studies have shown that young children learn most effectively through play and exploration. By nurturing each child's individual strengths and interests, we create enriching experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and the discovery of new concepts and ideas. 

We believe in a holistic approach to learning with focus on gross motor and fine motor development, social skills, language including numeracy and literacy, cognitive thinking and problem solving as well as independence and school readiness. 

Information about our programs and your child’s development will be accessible to you throughout your child’s learning journey. By having access to this you can keep communications open between the Centre and your child.
