About Little Learners in Woodbridge
We are a Reggio Emilia based learning centre in Woodbridge. We care for children from 3months to 6 years, and provide a range of developmentally appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready for the next step in their educational journey!
Our Mission
Little Learners Childcare will provide an environment inspired by Reggio Emilia, where children are encouraged to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively to their full potential.
Our Vision
To offer a safe and natural educational environment where children gain knowledge through daily experience with parents, teachers, peers, events, and objects around them.
We allow children to develop their own theories, negotiate their learning, and merge their own thoughts together thereby building knowledge and enhancing their understanding of the world around them.
Our Values
Put Children First
We identify, recognize, and address our children’s needs.
Being Knowledgeable
By following “How does learning happen?”, the ELECT, and the Fundamental Approaches of Reggio Emilia, educators have the tools to provide the best educational program.
Teamwork
Collaboration between our educators will ensure the deliverance of a strong educational program.
Partnership and Transparency
We believe in supportive partnerships with full transparency with our families and our community partners and regulatory bodies.
Safe and Fun Environment
We ensure all children are safe by following all health and safety measures put in place by our regulatory partners.
Professional Conduct
We will adhere to our Code of Conduct when communicating and engaging with our families, partners, peers, and children.
Our Philosophy of Care
Our programming is Reggio Emilia inspired and aligns with the Ministry of Education’s approach to early childhood.
How does learning happen?
The Reggio Emilia Approach
Is an educational philosophy based on the image of a child with strong potential for development and a subject with rights, "who learns through the hundred languages belonging to all human beings and grows in relations with others."
(Reggio Children)
The keystone of the approach:
That children and teachers are capable, resourceful researchers, interested in inquiring into the world around them. Such thoughtful engagement includes working through theories, thoughts, feelings, and values.
The teacher develops pedagogical documentation which inquires into children’s thinking and understanding, invites children to revisit documentation, and studies documentation to propel the curriculum further.
Parents are invited to be full participants in the life of schools. For information on this approach visit:
We Incorporate The Philosophy Of ‘How Does Learning Happen’
