Learning that doesn't stop at the classroom door.

Our childcare extracurricular activities are carefully curated to cater to a variety of interests and talents, spanning sport, dance, music, STEM, languages, cooking, gardening and the great outdoors.

Each one is an adventure in learning: scoring a first goal, mixing a fizzing science experiment, finding the rhythm in a dance, or planting a seed and watching it grow.

Every session is led by a specialist in their field, and many programs are included in your daily fees.

Little Scholars Kids Learning Science

Why an active, varied childhood matters.

Children who get to try lots of different things in the early years build the broadest foundations of all.

Variety is where the magic happens. Every new activity wires fresh connections in a rapidly developing brain, grows physical literacy and coordination, and helps children discover what truly lights them up. Having a go at something unfamiliar, then sticking with it, quietly builds the confidence and resilience that carry all the way through school and life.

See our extracurricular programs in action

STEM

In partnership with Lab Kids, our STEM program allows children explore hands-on experiments and exciting topics like motion, light, sound, states of matter, and chemical reactions — all aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian National Curriculum.

Language

Our Japanese Program, taught by Sensei Gai from Konnichiwa Kids Club, introduces children to a new language and culture through fun, interactive experiences. Through songs, stories, games, and everyday conversations, children build confidence, language skills, and cultural awareness.

More than just fun and games

Every activity is chosen to grow the whole child, body, mind and confidence, through the thing they do best: play.

Confidence & coordination

Sport, dance and swimming build strong, capable bodies and the self-belief that comes with trying something new.

Curiosity & problem-solving

Hands-on STEM plants the seeds of critical thinking — skills that carry all the way through school and beyond.

Each program is run by a specialist partner who genuinely loves what they teach — first-class learning, every time.
