Little Scholars School of Early Learning was founded in 2014 by Jae Fraser, an early childhood teacher with more than 25 years of experience and a vision to create something more than childcare\u2014a nurturing, inspiring early learning environment built around children, families, and genuine educational care.<\/p>\n
What began as a single centre in South East Queensland has grown into a family-owned network of 17 campuses across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich, and Redland Bay, while staying grounded in the same values that shaped the very first centre.<\/p>\n
Little Scholars was created by someone who spent decades working directly with young children and understood what high-quality early learning should look and feel like.<\/p>\n
That educator-led foundation continues to shape everything across the centres today, from the learning philosophy to the relationships built with children and families.<\/p>\n
At the heart of Little Scholars is The Collective<\/strong>, an educational philosophy that follows each child\u2019s interests, questions, and natural curiosity rather than relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all programming.<\/p>\n Educators observe what sparks each child\u2019s engagement and build meaningful learning experiences around those discoveries.<\/p>\n Little Scholars brings this philosophy to life through distinctive programs designed to make learning immersive, engaging, and memorable.<\/p>\n Bush Kinder and Beach Kinder<\/strong> take children into natural environments where exploration and nature become part of the curriculum.<\/p>\n WonderNest<\/strong> introduces kindergarten children to guided virtual reality experiences that bring weekly learning themes to life through immersive educational adventures.<\/p>\n Grandfriends<\/strong>, the intergenerational program, creates meaningful relationships between children and older community members, offering experiences that families consistently describe as deeply special.<\/p>\n Several Little Scholars campuses have earned the Exceeding<\/strong> rating under Australia\u2019s National Quality Standard\u2014the highest rating awarded by ACECQA.<\/p>\n This independent recognition reflects a consistent commitment to quality, care, and educational excellence.<\/p>\n Little Scholars also supports families with practical features that make everyday life easier, including chef-prepared meals provided daily, extracurricular programs such as yoga, music, and dance at no extra cost, and extended operating hours from 6:30am to 6:30pm Monday through Friday.<\/p>\n These details are designed to support both children\u2019s development and the realities of family life.<\/p>\n Beyond the programs and credentials, Little Scholars is built around warmth, relationships, and partnership with families.<\/p>\n It is a place where educators take time to know each child, where families feel welcomed, and where early learning is approached as a shared journey.<\/p>\n At its core, Little Scholars School of Early Learning exists to provide children with an environment where they are nurtured, challenged, supported, and inspired.<\/p>\n It is the vision Jae Fraser built from the beginning, and it remains the commitment delivered across every campus today.<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/www.mylittlescholars.com.au","url_text":"www.mylittlescholars.com.au","main_services":"- Long Day Care \u2014 Full-day early childhood education and care, Monday to Friday - Kindergarten (Free Kindy eligible) \u2014 Play-based kindy programme for children in the year before school, available under Queensland's Free Kindy funding - The Collective Curriculum \u2014 Proprietary emergent, child-led, play-based educational programme - Bush Kinder \u2014 Structured nature-based learning in bushland and outdoor environments - Beach Kinder \u2014 Nature-based learning programme at coastal campuses - Extracurricular Activities \u2014 Weekly yoga, music, dance and more, included at no additional cost - Grandfriends Programme \u2014 Intergenerational community programme connecting children with older community members - Chef-Prepared Meals \u2014 Daily nutritionist-informed meals provided at no extra cost - WonderNest VR Programme \u2014 Immersive virtual reality learning experiences for kindergarteners using Class VR glasses; fully offline, educator-supervised 8-minute sessions that bring curriculum topics to life \u2014 from walking with dinosaurs to exploring the ocean floor - Before & After School Care (OSHC) \u2014 Flexible care for school-aged children before and after school","intro_slagan":"Australia","intro_text":"","image_1":false,"client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"\nInnovative Programs That Set Little Scholars Apart<\/h2>\n
