About Us
Philosophy
Little Sparrows Early Learning Centre “Learning to Fly”
At Little Sparrows we believe that children deserve the best care and education possible. By providing a safe, friendly, and inspiring learning environment, your child will be supported and extended as they embark on their learning journey, and equipped with the necessary skills that will set them up for a positive attitude towards lifelong learning.
Guided by highly-skilled and knowledgeable teachers, and united with the expertise of parents and extended families, we intend to bring out the best in your child. We will nurture your child as they grow and develop, encouraging their natural desire to make sense of the world around them, and giving them the opportunity to acquire knowledge through active exploration within a small community of learners. We strongly believe in equality, so irrespective of age, ability, gender, or ethnicity, all children are valued members of our Early Learning Centre which cherishes the individuality of each and every child.
Testimonials
Shruti Joshi - 2 December 2015
"Our little girl Anisha has been going to Little Sparrows for two and a half months now. What an amazing place!! Absolutely wonderful and caring teachers. I still remember the first time when I visited them and immediately knew this is going to be like home away from home for our daughter Such an incredible degree of organisation and communication amongst all the teachers. So very inspiring. And the best aspect is the mix of all ages, with the younger kids learning so much from the elder ones. Simply awesome!!"

"I have never seen such an amazing centre where the staff are so welcoming, caring and supportive towards parents, family and children. I was a third year student at the centre and now do casual relieving at Little Sparrows. The staff at this centre have really inspired me to become the best teacher that I can be. Working at little sparrows has made me realise what I believe in and the strong passion I have for teaching young children. I highly recommend this service to all parents seeking quality and professional childcare. x"
