Little Assets Early Learning Centre - South Morang

Little Assets was founded on the belief that every child deserves the best possible early childhood education. And we believe this begins with providing a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where your child feels happy and loved.

A place that values every child’s identity, culture, individual strengths and interests – in order to build their confidence, wellbeing and enthusiasm to learn.

This is who we are, at Little Assets.

We are a centre that embraces the effectiveness of play-based learning. We are a centre that embraces the effectiveness of play-based learning, using the practices, principles and outcomes of the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards. We continuously encourage children to make choices, discover, create, explore, communicate openly – while having fun in our welcoming, well-resourced environments.

We also believe in continuous professional development for our educators, ensuring your child always receives the best-quality education.

Finally, we celebrate the diversity of every family, recognising that learning primarily happens at home. For this reason, we strongly value an open partnership with families – one in which we’ll always honour the individual needs and aspirations of you and your child. Because every child deserves the best possible early childhood education.

Music program: the children enjoy their fun and interactive Mini Maestro sessions every fortnight. This stimulates their imaginative and creative skills, enhances brain function, helps them understand beat, rhythm and sounds, develops social skills, enhances their language development and builds an appreciation for music. 

Sports program:  using the Sports 4 Kinder program to encourage healthy physical activity. The weekly program exercises their mind and body, and fosters  social interaction skills, creates a sense of belonging and achievement, and helps to develop skills such as coordination, fine motor, gross motor, concentration and listening skills.

Language program: the children take part in weekly language lessons, which teaches them about different cultures and encourages diversity.

Bush Kinder: each week the children are encouraged to take part in imaginative play within nature. This program fosters respect and connection to the environment, promotes creativity, boosts immunity, increases confidence, motivation and concentration.

Sustainability program: this is embedded into the curriculum, and empowers children to construct knowledge, explore values and develop an appreciation of the environment. The children learn about the world around them, edible gardens, and how to care for the environment.

Cooking program: each week the children take part in the Little Chefs hands-on cooking program, which provides practical experience with many essential skills such as reading, following directions, and measuring. The children develop fine motor skills, coordination, and even early concepts of math and science. It also teaches them about cultures and lifestyles, healthy eating habits, and encourages them to try new foods.

The centre offers a Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum embedded in a multicultural environment.  They embrace the effectiveness of play based learning, using the practices, principles and outcomes of the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework and NQS. The children are encouraged to learn while also having fun.

The educators continuously encourage the children to make choices, discover, create, explore and communicate openly, while having fun in the welcoming, well-resourced environments.  All of the programs are designed with the children’s interests in mind.

The educators value each child’s identity, culture, individual strengths and interests which builds children’s confidence, wellbeing and enthusiasm to engage in learning. The children are cared for in the following rooms. Each room has their own individual learning program based on the interests, goals and needs of the children. 

• Orange Room: 6 weeks to 12 months

• Blue Room: 12 months to 2 years

• Green Room: 2 years to 3 years

• Purple Room: 3 years to 4 years

• Yellow Room: 4 years to 6 years

The educators believe that the best-quality care and learning comes from working together with everyone involved in a child’s growth and development. They are committed to cultivating genuine, collaborative partnerships with children, families and the wider community.

They offer extra services, such as access to children’s speech pathologists and OT’s. Before a family commences at the centre, they are offered personalised orientation to help them feel comfortable and to encourage the child to transition smoothly into care.

The educators communicate to families through the EDUCA app, which displays information about each child’s day and development. It also includes an online portfolio program that enables parents to view observations, learning stories and photos of their child and to keep in contact with their child’s educator.

A state-of-the-art centre, offering high quality care & education. Reggio inspired, focusing on engaging learning spaces that enable children to flow freely between the indoor and outdoor environments.
