Our Curriculum
Exploring Our Holistic Curriculum for Child Development
At Little Grommets, our curriculum is designed to support the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. We follow a play-based, child-led approach that nurtures natural curiosity, fosters independence, and encourages children to explore, discover and grow at their own pace.
From creative arts and early literacy to STEM experiences and sustainability education, our programs are rich with hands-on learning opportunities that reflect each child’s interests and developmental stage.
We value real-world experiences — whether it’s a group walk through the local community, caring for our garden beds, or cooking in our Little Chefs program. Every activity has a purpose: to help children feel confident, capable, and connected.
Our curriculum aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and is enriched by our extra-curricular offerings, including:
Yoga and mindfulness
Second language classes
Sports and movement
Bush and Pram Kinder
Swimming lessons
Every day at Little Grommets is filled with laughter, learning, and meaningful moments that lay the foundation for lifelong success.
Learning Beyond the Ordinary
Infant Safety and Comfort: Our nursery environments are calm, nurturing and designed to help babies feel secure — with dedicated caregivers and peaceful routines that mirror home.
Qualified Educators: Our team of experienced, passionate educators bring a wealth of knowledge to every interaction — creating rich learning moments and genuine bonds with every child.
Building Trust and Attachment: We follow a primary caregiving model, so children develop strong, secure relationships with consistent educators who truly know and understand them.
Building Social and Cognitive Development: Through play, conversation, and hands-on exploration, we guide children to develop language, problem-solving, emotional regulation and early social skills — all in joyful, age-appropriate ways.
Nurturing more than just curiosity
At Little Grommets, we understand that children need more than just stimulation — they need security, connection, and genuine care. That’s why our educators focus just as much on emotional wellbeing as we do on early learning.
From their very first day, each child is supported to build trusting relationships, feel safe in their surroundings, and express themselves confidently. We create spaces that are calm, predictable and rich in sensory exploration — especially for our youngest learners — helping them feel grounded and at home.
Whether they’re engaged in messy play, cuddled up with a book, or simply observing the world around them, every experience is an opportunity to nurture self-awareness, resilience, and a love of learning.
Because at Little Grommets, we don’t just prepare children for school — we help them grow into kind, curious and capable humans.
