Little Scholars School of Early Learning Yatala
Generous in size, our spacious childcare centre in Yatala has been built on over an acre with open outdoor space and a veranda surrounding the Campus, so the children have endless outdoor and indoor spaces to explore. Each of our studios are led by compassionate and highly qualified educators who tailor the learning and development of each individual child. Right on the doorstep of our early learning service in Yatala is the Albert River with a bridge and natural bushland for the children to discover and explore daily. They step outside and become outdoor explorers with their educators and spend quality time connecting with nature. We have tailored our learning environments to open the imagination and curiosity of your child, inspire them to learn and try new things and learn to their highest potential.
Every day is a new day at Little Scholars Yatala – so come in and watch your child blossom in our colourful world. We offer a homely environment that provides a sense of nurture, love, belonging and happiness for every child who walks through our doors. Contact us today to find out more!

At Little Scholars, we understand how important it is for you to follow the progress of your child’s development.
Throughout the year, your child’s portfolio will be updated daily, and contain journals, photographs, project work and learning stories. You can view your child’s portfolio any time you visit your child’s studio.
In addition to the portfolio, parents have access to the Little Scholars app. Our parent app provides you with photographs and a summary of your child’s week so you can see what your child is learning.

We acknowledge that what we do today, with how we educate and care for children, directly impacts the world of tomorrow. Amongst these curious little minds are future leaders, innovators, scholars, explorers, entrepreneurs and humanitarians – and we recognise the incredible honour we have of educating and caring for your child.
The first five years of life are crucial to the foundations of your childs’ entire life. At Little Scholars, we are committed to instilling the knowledge and skills that will allow them to succeed – no matter which pathway they decide to pursue.
This is why, across all of our campuses, we’re working with our families and educators to create a vision for what we desire the world to look like in 2036… when our Little Scholars aren’t so little anymore, but rather active members of the community.
We have a responsibility – now – to ensure we’re providing the best environment for the future generation to thrive.
The future looks bright – and it’s in our hands. It takes a village to raise a child, and we believe that our vision to create a better world can be realised.
