Our Childcare and Day Care Program

At Little Scribblers Ashfield, our 0–3 Childhood and Daycare Program is designed to create a secure, caring, and natural environment where infants and toddlers feel nurtured and understood. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our educators focus on building strong emotional connections through consistent routines, responsive caregiving, and engaging sensory-rich experiences to help children learn.

Through age-appropriate activities such as tummy time, sensory exploration, music, and movement, our youngest learners develop crucial foundational skills in communication, motor coordination, physical development, and social awareness.

Every milestone, from first words to independent feeding, is celebrated and supported with warmth and encouragement so that each child's potential is met.

We value strong partnerships with families and provide regular updates through daily reflections, photos, and personal check-ins. Parents are welcomed into the learning journey, with open communication, flexible transitions, and opportunities to contribute to their child’s experience.

Our Ashfield Early Learning Centre Facilities

Our Ashfield centre offers a warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed environment specifically for infants and toddlers. Each space is purpose-built to support early developmental stages, encourage sensory exploration, and promote safe, nurturing routines. From our brand-new nursery to engaging toddler areas, every corner invites comfort, connection, and curiosity.

Designed especially for infants and toddlers, our 0–3 program provides a warm, nurturing space to encourage children to feel secure and supported. With a passionate, close-knit team of educators and low staff turnover, we pride ourselves on creating strong bonds with every child and family.

From first words to first steps, every experience is carefully planned to support your child’s natural curiosity and developmental progress in a safe, stimulating environment. We embed activities such as singing, storytelling, sensory play, and fine motor tasks in our daily routine to promote early language development, physical coordination, and confidence.
