Happy Little Campers Early Childhood Learning & Development Centre

The educators at Happy Little Campers are passionate about early childhood education and their role in supporting children’s development. They are committed to creating fun and engaging experiences that lay strong foundations for life.

The centre has two qualified Early Childhood Educators, rare for such an intimate centre. The centre chef is a qualified pastry chef and holds a Certificate 3 in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Many of the educators have been at the centre for many years, with some as many as a decade of Happy Little Campers service. This gives the children consistency and familiarity in their learning environment.

The educators at Happy Little Campers respect the role as a child’s first educator. Building on this, they foster collaborative and meaningful relationships with parents to support each child as they learn and grow. The role of educating is shared with parents, giving them the best opportunity to develop trusting relationships based on security and love.

The centre has a strong focus on community, as a tool to develop a sense of belonging. They encourage all members of the Happy Campers Community – educators, children and parents – to make positive contributions to the community.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the Happy Little Campers curriculum draws on leading research in early childhood education. The curriculum incorporates art, music, maths and more, customised to each child’s learning style and unique abilities.

The curriculum aims to spark the children’s natural curiosity, giving them the gift of a lifelong thirst for knowledge and learning. Using a play-based approach as the foundation of the curriculum activities, allowing the children to learn through play and make new discoveries every day.
