Exceptional Learning, Nurturing Care, and Bright Futures Where Little Ones Shine!
About Us
Little Echidna Early Learning Centre is proudly owned and operated by a passionate husband-and-wife team, both experienced educators and devoted parents. Their love for early childhood development drives a commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children feel happy, confident, and excited to learn every day.
With strong backgrounds in education, they bring hands-on experience, thoughtful leadership, and a deep understanding of children’s needs, ensuring the highest quality care and learning for every child.
At Little Echidna, we celebrate each child’s individuality, nurture their strengths, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. We place great value on partnerships with families, fostering open, ongoing communication to support each child’s unique journey.
Learning
At Little Echidna Early Learning Centre, our programs are designed around a play-based, child-led approach that sparks curiosity, creativity, and joy in learning. Through hands-on activities and meaningful teaching moments, we support children to develop confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of discovery.
Our highly skilled educators work collaboratively to develop rich, responsive learning environments that adapt to each child’s interests while intentionally building the skills, knowledge, and social-emotional confidence needed for a smooth transition to primary school.
We place great emphasis on continuity of care, nurturing routines, and inclusive practices, ensuring every child feels a strong sense of belonging and is given every opportunity to thrive, explore, and shine.
Why Choose Us ?
1
Boutique setting and personalised care
We keep our class sizes small and take less than 40 children at the centre in total. This means more one-on-one attention and a “home-like, nurturing environment.
2
Rich, holistic curriculum and school readiness programme
In addition to basic literacy and numeracy, the curriculum includes STEM, the arts (music, drama, languages), health and wellbeing, cultural awareness, and sustainability. This broad exposure supports every child’s development
3
Emphasis on physical activity and wellbeing
We run initiatives that encourage physical activity. Children engage in games, sports and gross-motor skill development. This helps ensure children not only grow academically, but also physically, socially and emotionally — fostering a well-rounded early childhood experience
Family-Focused Approach
We value open communication and keep families informed through regular updates in person and via our app. Our team is always available to support and partner with you in your child’s development.
