Wondering what an Educational Leader at Little Scholars does and why it’s important for your child’s early learning? This key role shapes the high-quality education your child receives. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes roles that plays a huge part in your child’s day-to-day experience.

So let’s break it down in parent terms.

What Does an Educational Leader Do?

At Little Scholars, every campus has an Educational Leader – someone whose main job is to support our amazing educators and make sure the programs we run are the best they can be. They guide the team, introduce new ideas, help with planning and problem-solving, and basically make sure everything we do is helping your child learn, grow, and thrive.

They’re not counted in educator-to-child ratios, so they have time and space to really focus on quality. That means they’re free to mentor educators, work on exciting learning projects, and stay up-to-date with the latest in early childhood education.

Why Should Parents Care?

Because when educators are well-supported, children benefit… big time.

Educational Leaders help make sure every learning experience is thoughtful, engaging, and tailored to children’s needs. They’re constantly reflecting on what’s working, what could be better, and how we can keep improving. That means your child is part of a program that’s always growing and evolving, just like them.

Going the Extra Mile

At Little Scholars, we do more than just tick the boxes. Our Educational Leaders:

  • Work outside of ratio, so they can really lead and support
  • Are coached by a dedicated Quality Practice Manager
  • Attend regular training and networking events
  • Lead action research to keep improving how we do things

In simple terms: they help make Little Scholars the best it can be — for our team, and most importantly, for your child.
