Our holistic approach to our childcare program incorporates a comprehensive range of educational goals and objectives for children that stretches far beyond academic learning into all areas of social and emotional wellbeing.
For babies, we know their natural curiosity, and that allows us to work with them to form strong cognitive skills and develop all areas of their social and emotional wellbeing.
We recognise that our toddlers are beginning to form a strong sense of self and encourage them to explore different concepts every day.
We take a holistic approach when creating preschool programs that incorporate a comprehensive range of educational and interpersonal development.
At Little Kingdom Childcare, we believe in a holistic approach to early years education. Our Educational Programs cater for each child’s needs and are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Created and delivered by experienced educators and Bachelor qualified teachers, our educational programs incorporate EYLF’s holistic approach covering every aspect of growth and child development. Our Pedagogy and Educational Programs are based on:
Children’s learning becomes more meaningful when they’re fully engaged. We use each child’s individual interests to encourage play-based learning. By using children’s interests to engage them in learning activities, education becomes much more interesting and meaningful to each child.
We recognise parents are a child’s first teacher. We believe that parents and families should have the opportunity to be involved in their child’s development. Parent and family involvement is essential in providing the best care and education in early childhood.
The EYLF is a set of practices, principles and outcomes that drive our entire educational program. It was created by the council of Australian Governments to help early childhood educators to provide children with opportunities that optimise their learning and education. Through holistic approaches from the EYLF, we ensure each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development is nurtured, promoting well-rounded growth and school readiness.
Our early learning centre in Geraldton offers a child-centred, Reggio Amelia-inspired teaching environment, where children learn through experimental play. Within this environment, our educators practice several child development methodologies together for a holistic approach to child development. Educators employ practices from theorists like Maria Montessori, Erick Erickson, Jean Piaget and more.
Our holistic and supportive approach to education views each child as a unique individual with a unique set of needs. Rather than only concentrating on specific areas of development, we consider the whole child and how they interact with the world. We emphasise the interconnection of cognitive, physical, social and emotional development to provide a complete and all encompassing education and care.

Our childcare programs follow a play-based and child-centred approach guided by EYLF principles that promote identity, confidence, well-being and community connection while preparing children for their future educational journey.
Play-based learning helps children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, social interactions and independence, making learning a fun and engaging experience.
Our educators monitor and document each child’s progress through observations, learning journals and regular assessments. We share this information with parents to keep them updated and involved in their child’s development.
Our kids’ early learning centre provides a caring, supportive environment where children thrive. We combine childcare programs with holistic approaches from the EYLF, ensuring your child’s early learning experience is positive, engaging and meaningful.
