Daycare and Childcare Croydon

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

Our 0–3 Early Years Program at Little Scribblers is designed to give babies and toddlers a secure, caring environment where they are nurtured and understood. With the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) as a guide, our educators foster emotional connections through consistent routines, attentive care, and sensory-rich opportunities for growth.

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.

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

At Little Scribblers, we believe in partnering with families by providing regular updates through reflections, photos, and one-on-one check-ins. With transparent communication, smooth transitions, and parent involvement, we support every child’s experience together.
