Daycare and Childcare Clayton

Our Childcare and Daycare Program

At Little Scribblers, our early years program is founded on meaningful connections, stability, and genuine care. We strive to create a peaceful, supportive space for infants and toddlers, focusing on their emotional wellbeing and key developmental stages.

Our dedicated educators nurture close bonds with the children, ensuring reliability and trust that promote a feeling of connection. This support is crucial for building children’s confidence and sense of safety in their early years.

Our play-based approach incorporates sensory exploration, physical development, and early communication with age-appropriate resources and engaging routines. We fill each child’s day with opportunities to learn through discovery, movement, music, and meaningful social interactions, incorporating their interests and preferences.

We work in close partnership with families, providing daily updates, shared goals, and genuine communication. Parents stay connected through photos, learning stories, and open dialogue with educators, ensuring your child’s experience feels like a natural extension of home.
