Little + Co Early Learning evolved from our dream to create an inspiring and evolutionary learning environment for our own young family and excited to offer this to your family too.
Our centre is small scale – featuring just 86 places over 5 rooms, from 6 months to school age and led by a passionate, highly professional director.

We’re all about little people
Qualified educators, progressive programming
Professional educators deliver our high-quality and progressive educational curriculum. We also partner with other organisations to facilitate specialist programming at Little + Co.
Nature play
We believe that children should have plentiful opportunities to explore and learn in the natural environment. We offer a wonderful playscape on-premises and utilise the local bush, parklands and community gardens to foster a respect for and appreciation of the natural environment and to encourage mindfulness and physical activity.
Full service
We understand the challenges of being a working parent. You will be able to rest assured knowing your little person is being provided with nutritional and interesting meals prepared by a qualified chef together with a complete nappy service and electronic access to your child’s programme at Little + Co.
Community
As proud locals, we are passionate about supporting and building strong ties with the community. Our Service is ideally situated close to a range of wonderful community facilities, and the little people in our care love to get out and about in the neighbourhood through walking/pram excursions.
Opportunities are facilitated for families to meet, make new friends and learn more about child development and education. We love supporting local businesses and working in conjunction with our local community.
Communication
We believe in building strong parent partnership and key to that is effective communication across a range of mediums. You will receive professional and respectful communication regarding your child’s educational journey both verbally and in writing. A quality electronic platform is provided, as well as other forms of communication.
