Classrooms tailored to your child’s learning needs
Nursery, Toddler 1 and Toddler 2
(0 ~ 3 yrs)
In our infant and toddler classrooms we encompass a family like environment for our youngest children. Our infant and toddler holistic wellbeing is of upmost importance at Little Locals Auchenflower. We provide a respectful environment that is rich in learning possibilities and provides a safe space for our children to unfold naturally in their own space and time. Our mission is to grow competent and confident learners that are secure in their sense of belonging and socialising with others.
Jnr and Snr Kindy
(3 ~ 4 yrs)
In our junior kindergarten and senior kindergarten classrooms we provide a safe learning environment for all our children. Each individual child is unique in their own way and we understand that all children learn differently. We believe our environment acts as the third teacher and we set up inviting provocations that provoke thought and wonder for our children to extend their current interests on a deeper level.
Kindergarten (4 ~ 5 yrs)
Our Kindergarten room is managed by university-trained Early Childhood Teachers, specializing in the Early Years. The program is delivered in alignment with the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines and Early Years Framework. We provide experiences which allow children opportunities to develop a range of skills, knowledge and dispositions for learning that we believe will set them up for life long learning.
We aim to provide children with opportunities that will allow them to:
- Be intellectually challenged and engaged
- Collaborate with their Teachers, Educators, and other children (through discussions, interactions, enquiry, and planning of their own ideas)
- Take ownership and responsibility for what they are generally interested in and have accomplished
- Experience pride and satisfaction when problem solving for overcoming obstacles and challenges
- Apply their own learning through purposeful and playful ways
- Develop a sense of belonging to both Little Locals and the wider community
