Little Lion philosophy

A Home away from Home

At Little Lion, we create a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

EYLF-Guided Learning

Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and tailored to each child’s interests, strengths and individual needs.

Play-based and intentional learning
Individualised learning experiences
Strong educator-child relationships
Family partnerships
Respect for every child’s culture and background

Learning Through Play

Play-based learning is the essense of our every day practice. We believe children learn best when they are actively involved, curious and having fun.

Through child-led play and educator-guided experiences, children develop:

Creativity and curiosity
Communication and social skills
Problem-solving
Confidence and independence
Physical and emotional wellbeing

Transition to School

Our Transition to School Program helps preschool children build the confidence and skills they need for a positive transition to primary school.

Our program supports:

Early literacy and numeracy
Communication and social skills
Independence and self-help skills
Emotional resilience
Confidence and problem-solving
Familiarity with school routines

Inclusion & Diversity

Every child deserves to feel welcomed, respected and included.

We celebrate different cultures, languages and backgrounds through our learning programs, community experiences and diverse educator team.

Where additional support is needed, we work with families to provide individualised learning and inclusion support.
