Childcare and Daycare Dee Why

Our Childcare and Early Years Program

At Little Scribblers, our childcare program for 0–3 year olds is shaped by a strong understanding of early development and what helps children flourish.

Our priority is building a warm and supportive environment where every child feels secure and valued. Using a play-based approach and the Early Years Learning Framework, our educators plan each day to inspire curiosity, connection, and confidence in the early years.

Our program focuses on nurturing strong bonds between children and educators, as well as fostering partnerships with families. With consistent routines, sensory play, language-rich experiences, and open-ended exploration, we encourage children’s emotional wellbeing, communication, physical skills, and independence. Every stage, from tummy time to first steps, is valued and celebrated.

We keep families connected with daily updates, photos, and insights through our secure app. You’ll always know what your child has discovered, achieved, and enjoyed, as we value working alongside you each step of the way. At Little Scribblers, we see the first years as the foundation for lifelong learning, and we’re proud to share that journey with you.

Our Childcare Centre Facilities

Nutritious Meals

Through our partnership with Kids Gourmet Food, children enjoy daily meals that are fresh, nutritious, and designed by paediatric nutritionists to support development, meet dietary needs, and encourage lifelong healthy habits.

Conveniently Accessible Centre

With underground parking and direct lift access, families experience stress-free drop-offs and pick-ups. Our pram- and wheelchair-friendly design ensures easy access for infants, toddlers, and parents.

Warm, Safe, and Stimulating Environment

Our toddler and nursery areas are equipped with safe, age-appropriate play resources that nurture exploration and gross motor skills. From padded surfaces to low climbing gear and cosy spots, every detail supports little movers and crawlers.

Soothing Sleep

We offer a gentle sleep and rest routine tailored to each child’s needs. Our nursery features a quiet, low-stimulation sleep space with monitored cot areas, white noise, and gentle, natural light to help babies and toddlers settle with comfort and confidence.

Holistic Early Development

In our rooms, children access fine motor and sensory materials like puzzles, stacking toys, textured resources, and cause-and-effect play, which help strengthen brain development, coordination, and early cognitive skills.

Nature-Inspired Outdoor Play

Outdoor time is safe and stimulating with shaded play areas designed specifically for infants and toddlers. From soft turf and tactile sensory stations to push toys and low-level water play, our environments promote curiosity, coordination, and confidence-building.
