Lil Sprouts Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Lil Sprouts

Lil Sprouts Childcare is a family owned childcare service provider.

The owners of the company have children who attend Li'l Sprouts Early Learning/childcare and they want you to have the same care for your children as they expect for their own.

Our Centre is based on the core principles and beliefs that early childhood is a unique stage in life. The way we introduce the children to Early Learning is important as it is the foundation on which children will begin to build the rest of their lives.

Lil Sprouts Early learning centre is where children will feel safe, secure, challenged and stimulated and our goal is to provide quality care for your children, where we can help you by making sure your children are in a caring, sharing, focused environment.

Every effort is made to make the centres a happy place for the children where they can play, learn and above all be happy.

Early Years Learning Management

At Lil Sprouts our centre uses a program called Early Years Learning Management (EYLM) to provide each family with online access to their child’s portfolios, photos, the daily program journal and more. Staff use the QKeYLM tool to manage each child’s portfolios, journaling, planning and curriculum within their room.

Any published observations, rooms programs, daily journals, photos and pictures of artwork available for parents to view is created and managed by the child care centre staff through QKeYLM – Online NQF Management. Parents from the comfort of their home, office or anywhere using the convenient My Family Lounge App have the ability to view each child’s portfolio with their own secure login including notifications to the parents when a new Observation or Daily Journal is published for them to see.

Our Curriculum

Children have an innate sense of wonder and a natural desire to learn. Our curriculum aims to create a free choice, play-based learning environment for children to learn within. Planned experiences are based on children’s interests, and follows the Early Years Learning Framework. Creativity, imagination and curiosity shape the collaborative environment, allowing each child to fulfil their potential.

Every Child is Unique

We believe that each child is unique. We aim to maximize every child’s development and learning by enriching their learning experiences as they explore, investigate and interact with their friends, educators and the environment.

We work to create an emotionally responsive setting where children learn respect for their individual and cultural similarities as well as to celebrate the differences that make us a rich, diverse cultural community.

Nurturing the Love for Learning

We believe that children, from the beginning of their lives, bring their own personalities, preferences and curiosities to each experience. Therefore, each child’s interests are honoured and integrated into the curriculum.

Our trained educators provide an emergent curriculum that focuses in on all areas of development. Children are empowered to try out new things on a daily basis as they progress through developmental milestones during this time of incredible growth in their lives. Our educators are eager to support the process, and to share the achievements of each child with their family as they reach those milestones.

The Learning Environment

Our environment is organised to enable children to develop independence and confidence. We allow children to initiate their own learning in their own time and space, but also encourage them to work collaboratively where they can learn more from each other in a social context.

Both the indoor and outdoor environments play as important a role as the educator and the students. The educators arrange and rearrange the areas with intent and respect. Materials are chosen that will stimulate, inspire, and challenge the children as their imaginations and curiosity develop.

Recording the Learning Journey

Our educators are trained to observe and record what they see and hear children do. Our documentation makes the learning journey visible. Portfolios are displayed and analysed to held us understand why children do what they do and to plan accordingly to help the children reach their full potential.

Relationships

The most important aspect of your child’s welfare is the quality of the relationship between parents, children and educators. We understand how big a step it is to place your child in the care of “strangers”. We have implemented a “settling in” process that allows parents to stay with the child before the start date. We want both the child and parents to feel completely happy about being left in the care of friends.

We believe strongly in forming a strong partnership with parents from the very outset. To this end, we aim to be available to talk at anytime. Through open communication we able to give effect to our motto

“If it’s important to the child, it’s important to us”
