Little Scholars School of Early Learning Nerang
Nestled in the leafy suburb of Nerang is our purposefully built Little Scholars School of Early Learning. Located on the corner of McLaren Rd and Crusader Way, we are surrounded by gorgeous parks, nature, wildlife, and a lively family neighbourhood. Our purposefully built childcare centre in Nerang has been customised to nurture the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social interests of young children at all developmental levels. We encourage all little scholars to interact in open indoor and outdoor spaces where they can use their wildest imaginations, be inspired, and create meaningful learning opportunities. Our Little Scholars vision is to provide a family-like environment that focuses on learning, exploring, sustainability, love, and a sense of belonging and happiness for every child who walks through our doors.
We have intentionally designed an oasis for the children to explore, grow, learn, and be inspired daily and no day is the same for our little scholars. Pop in for a visit at our childcare centre in Nerang and watch your child blossom in our colourful world. Imagine your child feeding the chickens, playing in the custom built water park, scooting on the bike track or exploring on the nature walks – this is all before morning tea.
Our childcare centre in Nerang is a wonderland for the children in our care, and helps them learn to their highest potential. Every day is a new day for the children to learn, grow, contribute, and be inspired and to play such an integral part in shaping our children’s futures is what we live for at Little Scholars. Book a tour anytime – we’d love to welcome you to our Nerang Little Scholars family.
From day one, everyone has been so warm and welcoming. The educators do a fantastic job of keeping us informed, and it’s been wonderful to see my son settle in so well and begin making positive connections.
I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone considering care for their child.

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 anytime 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, documenting your child’s progress 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.
