Inspire

We believe that every child is a natural dreamer and doer. Our environments in which children spend their days are set up to contribute to children’s wellbeing, creativity and developing independence by learning through play. Our educators serve as positive role models, inspiring your child through creative play, storytelling, and real-world experiences. By connecting them with members of the community, we open up avenues for inspiration in various aspects of life, such as future careers or the importance of helping others in need. This fosters a sense of wonder and aspiration that we hope will last a lifetime.

Our 2036 Vision

Little Scholars is looking beyond tomorrow

In 2036, the children enrolled in our campuses will be adults. Some will be graduating from university, while others will have started their careers, and perhaps those with an adventurous spirit may be travelling the world.

The Collective

Emergent educational curriculum

The Collective, our emergent educational curriculum, is aligned to our Little Scholars vision, mission statement, philosophy, and our play-based approach to children’s learning. This streamlined approach of an emergent curriculum supports educators to adopt child development theory and put into practice.

Mindfulness

Ways to understand and manage children's own internal worlds

We know the importance of finding ways to cope with any form of stress which is why we have introduced our Mindfulness Program in all our Little Scholars campuses.

Studio Tour

Come with us on a Studio Tour

Let us show you around two of the studios at our Ormeau Campus. We have created beautiful engaging learning environments for children to explore and play.

Learning Environments

Exploring the world through curious eyes.

At Little Scholars we believe that ‘the environment is the third teacher’ (Reggio Emilia theory). The physical environment and the learning spaces that we set up for children contribute to children’s wellbeing, creativity and developing independence.

STEM Program

Introduced STEM to our extra-curricular program

It’s never too early to get children interested in science and help build their curiosity about the world around us!

Starting children’s interests in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects young gives them critical thinking and problem-solving skills that they can take with them into their future education and careers.
