Founder’s Welcome

Unlike other childcare centres, which are owned by a corporation or investment firm, we’re not focused on profits. Our goal is to provide exciting experiences and activities for your child to learn through play.

Little Scholars was founded and is run by myself Jae Fraser, a former president and active executive of Australia Childcare Alliance.

Much educational research focuses on the importance of the teacher in assisting children to achieve and grow. We invest in our greatest resources – the people. We encourage professional excellence in all staff. Teachers who are the leaders in their field, committed to their purpose of educating young people, and who are genuinely passionate about their work.

We aim to create centres of excellence. Our environments are incredibly important and set us apart from other services. Contemporary theories and research informed by the Reggio Emilia approach recognise and value the environment as a ‘third teacher’. Behind educators and families, physical spaces hold the potential to influence what and how children learn. We need to always ensure they are beautiful, inspiring and engaging for children.

We strive for all at Little Scholars to be the best they can be. Little Scholars School of Early Learning has always recognised and embraced digital technologies as an important educational tool and equally the natural learning environment is an integral piece of our journey to preparing children for life. We must be contemporary in our practices and thinking if we are to educate and support children in a hyperconnected world. At the same time our foundations of strong, positive relationships are at the heart of all we do. We want our Little Scholars to be responsible, community and sustainability aware, and caring citizens of the world, whose opportunities in education give them the platform to step into amazing futures.
