Welcome to Little Oak Early Learning Centre
When you visit Little Oak, you’ll notice the beautiful English oak tree in our playground. This tree has been a cherished part of the Werribee community for decades and is the inspiration behind our name. It symbolizes our deep connection to nature, strength, growth, and our commitment to being an integral part of the Werribee community.
Little Oak is proudly family-owned and operated. Our centre is led by a team of highly qualified and passionate educators who are dedicated to supporting the individual learning and development of each child. Our Early Learning Programs are thoughtfully designed to help children meet milestones, make friends, connect with the natural environment, and most importantly, have fun!
Why Choose Us
Education
At Little Oak, we proudly embed the Reggio Emilia Approach in our program and practice, which is also guided by the National Quality Framework – Being, Belonging & Becoming. We believe that children are competent and capable learners, and their creativity, curiosity, and desire to learn provide endless opportunities for growth.
Our role as educators is to support each child in reaching their full potential through carefully crafted environments, programs, and experiences. Recognizing that the first five years of a child’s life are the most crucial, we provide an exceptional early years program, including a kindergarten program designed to prepare each child for school and beyond.
We understand the importance of keeping you connected with your child’s day. Our central communication app provides real-time updates, including daily menus, activities, nappy changes, and educators’ reflections. You’ll also receive photos and insights into your child’s learning experiences, ensuring you never miss a moment.
Designed to Inspire
The environment plays an important role in children’s learning and development and we wholeheartedly believe that the environment is the third teacher. With brand-new environments and natural resources our centre provides children with the opportunity to learn, discover and explore.
Our environments are designed to inspire and encourage the children to choose their learning through project & play based, open-ended actives and experiences. Each play space is filled with high-quality, natural and age-appropriate resources for the children to enjoy. Our sleep and rest areas are calm, and soothing spaces for children to rest, sleep or unwind.
