Childcare and Daycare Croydon

Our Childcare and Early Learning Program for 0–3 Year Olds

At Little Scribblers, our Early Years Program for children aged 0–3 provides a safe, nurturing, and natural space where infants and toddlers feel valued and cared for. Using the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), educators build strong bonds through predictable routines, responsive care, and sensory experiences that encourage learning.

Our youngest learners engage in age-appropriate experiences including tummy time, sensory exploration, music, and movement, helping them develop vital foundations in communication, motor skills, physical development, and social learning.

From first words to learning to feed independently, every milestone is recognised and nurtured with care and encouragement, ensuring each child reaches their full 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.
