About Us

Your child is in great hands

A welcome from Tracey

Our team at Little Acorns Childcare Centre are pleased to be able to undertake a care and educative partnership with you and your child. We feel privileged to be able to share this valuable stage in your child’s life with you and will provide a safe, nurturing, and happy environment in which all children can thrive. Our centre provides the highest standard of quality early learning for babies, toddlers, and kindergarten (4-year-old) aged children.

I have more than 20 years’ experience in early childhood education. Creating Little Acorns alongside my husband Dennis and daughters Kirsty and Nicole is the realisation of a long-held dream of mine to establish a high-quality early learning environment, here in Australia.

At Little Acorns, children, families, and educators will work together to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere which facilitates learning with your child to enable them to reach their full potential.

The centre has qualified and experienced educators. Educators hold professional teaching and early childhood qualifications. All our educators have current First Aid and Anaphylaxis qualifications. We encourage our educators to continue their professional studies in early childhood by attending in-service and training courses.

We will always be freely available to answer any of your questions, and look forward to the exciting journey ahead of us.

Our beliefs & goals

At Little Acorns, our activities are driven by the ideas, excitement, information, and questions from the children.
We believe in building intrinsic motivation and a long-term love of learning in children.
We support and encourage the interest and involvement of families.
We believe that the quality of early relationships, experiences and environments strongly influence children later in life.
We believe that each child comes to the centre with a different set of experiences, knowledge, and interests. We seek to build on the individual home experiences and acknowledge the range of diverse backgrounds of our families.
We believe language and learning go hand – in – hand to increase children’s concept development, social relationships, and their understanding of the world around them.
We believe each child has the right to an environment that develops a strong sense of respect for self, for others and for the environment.
We believe that each child should be given the opportunity to experience success so that they are able to face the future challenges, build on their strengths and accept their individual limitations without fear of failure or loss of self-esteem.
We believe equality within the learning environment is essential to the overall development of all children.
We believe that positive, supportive, and nurturing educators are essential to a successful early learning environment.
We are committed to the Australian Early Childhood Association Code of Ethics.
