Childcare and Daycare Croydon

Our Early Childhood Day Care Program (0–3 Years)

At Little Scribblers, we’ve created an Early Years Program for 0–3 year olds that emphasises security, care, and natural surroundings. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our team supports learning through strong emotional bonds, stable routines, responsive caregiving, and rich sensory play.

With activities like tummy time, music, movement, and sensory play, our infants and toddlers build essential early skills in communication, coordination, physical growth, and social awareness.

Each milestone, from first words or self-feeding, is supported and celebrated with warmth, helping every child grow to their potential.

We prioritise strong family partnerships, offering daily reflections, photos, and personal updates to keep parents connected. Open communication, flexible transitions, and opportunities to engage ensure families are part of their child’s learning journey.
