Welcome to our Infants Program

At Littlehampton ELC we offer nursery aged children 0-2 years old (Bilby Room), a program with a wide variety of learning experiences using our combined curriculum of EYLF and Montessori inspired activities. The focus of the infant/toddlers environment is fostering basic trust in the child by providing a safe and loving home like environment.

In the infants and toddlers room we allow the child to develop according to his/her own natural growth pattern and have the freedom to create his/her own personality. In the Bilby room, we prioritise building the children their sense of community and ‘belonging’.

Experiences are designed to promote the development of social skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination as well as cognitive preparation for future intellectual and academic endeavours. Our classroom environment is adaptable to the physical needs of the children, both in the size of the furnishings and in the opportunities for motor development.

Montessori materials and equipment are especially designed to provide opportunities to help little muscles develop coordination, helping the child gain independence and self esteem.  Special attention is given to the development of expressive and comprehensive language skills, motor and sensory development as well as mastering skills of every day tasks which will lead to greater independence.

We have been part of this ELC for 2 years, and will continue to be for a while yet. The employees truly care for my kids, and have compassion and support for all situations. I love that it is a smaller setting for kids, where relationships are not only forged between kids, but between families as well.

My daughter 3yrs old has been attending Littlehampton for two years and my son 2 yrs has been attending for a year. I love this centre so very much as the staff are INCREDIBLE. They go above and beyond with their care and love for the children. Their programming is considerate, well planned and delivered in a fun, educational way for all developmental stages. The educators provide detailed daily reflections of the children’s day and the reasoning behind it, as well as detailed observations and plenty of photos. The families that attend the centre are beautiful as well and I find are a bonus, extended support community from fellow parents. I know that the friends my children make today will be in our lives till their adulthood! This centre is more than a child care environment, it’s your co-parent/teacher/support crew!

My 3yo daughter has been at this centre for over 2 years now, and I'm really glad I chose L ittlehampton ELC, we both love it! The centre is smaller than others which allows for more flexible and personalised care, and has fantastic outdoors space for both babies and older kids, including veggies, chickens and great adventure play equipment. The carers are fantastic, you can tell they are passionate about their work, and they clearly value my daughter and encourage her interests. It's great that they teach self-help and normal life skills like washing dishes (yet make it fun!), and engage in lots of active, creative and messy play. Even though we moved away from the area earlier this year, there is no way we would have left littlehampton ELC, it is worth the extra 15min drive back up the freeway!
Amelia
We have been a part of the Littlehampton Early Learning Centre family for just over 2 years now. The entire staff involved with the centre are wonderful to deal with! To see my son (3yrs) blossom through the assistance of this centre has been amazing.

My son, now 2 has been attending since he was 5 months old and we have been so happy with the education he has received and the staff that look after him. Highly recommend the centre!
Rochelle
From the moment we stepped foot in this centre, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The beautiful gentle music playing in the foyer and the smiling faces of the staff immediately put us at ease. Since enrolling our eldest son, we have never looked back, and have our second son enrolled here too. We have always been very impressed with the care our children have received, the understanding and compassion provided to our family from Sue and the staff, the activities and environment provided for the children, and the inclusion of the Kindy Hub app to run us through what our children have been up to during the days they are in care. Thank you for caring for our children and our family, and providing a safe place for us to leave our children.
