Childcare and Daycare Haberfield

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

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.

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.

We value strong partnerships with families and provide regular updates through daily reflections, photos, and personal check-ins. Parents are welcomed into the learning journey, with open communication, flexible transitions, and opportunities to contribute to their child’s experience.
