Our Philosophy

Guiding our approach to early learning through respect, relationships, play, and a deep belief in every child’s potential.

Our Beliefs

At Little Friends Group, our philosophy reflects our commitment to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported to grow.

Children Are Capable Learners

We believe every child is unique and capable. Children learn best when they feel confident, supported, and encouraged to explore.

Learning Happens Through Play

Play is central to learning. Through play, children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Relationships Matter

Secure, respectful relationships with educators and peers create a strong foundation for wellbeing and learning.

Families Are Partners

Families are a child’s first educators. We value strong partnerships built on trust, communication, and shared goals.

Our Philosophy in Practice

Our philosophy guides everything we do — from the way we design learning environments to how we build relationships with children and families. We provide experiences that are responsive to children’s interests, strengths, and cultural backgrounds.

Educators intentionally observe, reflect, and plan to support meaningful learning experiences. We believe in creating environments that invite curiosity, independence, and collaboration.

Our practice is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring high-quality education that supports wellbeing, identity, belonging, and lifelong learning.

Our Promise: We are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where every child feels confident to explore, learn, and thrive.

Inspired by Children, Guided by Values

Our philosophy shapes a learning environment where children are supported to become confident, curious, and compassionate learners.
