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.
