Daycare and Childcare Dulwich Hill

Our Early Years and Childcare 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.

By participating in activities such as tummy time, sensory play, music, and movement, children strengthen key developmental skills including communication, motor coordination, physical ability, and social understanding.

We celebrate and encourage every achievement, from first words to independent feeding, ensuring each child is nurtured towards reaching their full 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.
