Welcome to
Little Gumnuts

At Little Gumnuts Early Learning Group, we believe that the early years are a pivotal time for nurturing each child’s unique potential, creating lasting memories, and laying the foundations for a lifelong passion for learning. As an Australian-owned, family-operated childcare service, we are dedicated to fostering a safe, supportive, and vibrant learning environment where children can thrive. Our programs and facilities are carefully designed to offer a holistic learning experience that ensures every child receives the optimal care, support, and opportunities every day.

Our Programs

Our Toddler Program fosters children’s confidence, communication skills, and curiosity through active, hands-on learning that engages all the senses. Our Toddlers are sensory explorers that are beginning to discover the world and their special place within it.

Our Preschool Program offers dynamic, child-led learning experiences that build foundational skills and seamlessly prepare children for their transition to school. Our Preschoolers are confident and empowered learners whose voices, interests, and choices are the centre of our program.

Our Curriculum

Every Child. Every Chance. Every Day.

At Little Gumnuts, our emergent curriculum is designed to offer a holistic learning experience that adapts to the interests and developmental pace of each child, empowering them to explore and learn their way.

Emergent Curriculum

Our emergent curriculum encourages children to discover their interests and tailors learning to expand their knowledge, skills, and passions.

Holistic Education

We focus on nurturing all aspects of children's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development to support their complete wellbeing and growth.

Research Based

Our curriculum, based on current early childhood research, recognises play as central to young children's learning and development.
