More than Learning
Little Learners Academy sessions support children's social and emotional development alongside their early learning. Sessions provide opportunities for children to build friendships, practise communication skills, develop confidence in new environments and become familiar with routines that support future transitions into preschool and school settings.
Little Learners Academy recognises that new experiences can feel overwhelming for some children. Through nurturing relationships, predictable routines and engaging activities, children are supported to feel safe, secure and ready to learn.
