About Little Learners Reggio Emilia, Maple
We are a Reggio Emilia-inspired learning school in Maple, welcoming children from 15 months to 8 years of age. Everything we offer is developmentally appropriate, deeply intentional, and designed to support each child's growth right up until they are ready for their next exciting educational chapter.
Our Mission
To provide an environment inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, where children are encouraged to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively to their absolute fullest potential.
Our Vision
To offer a safe, natural, and beautifully considered educational environment where children gain knowledge through daily experience, through their relationships with parents, teachers, peers, and the world around them.
We give children the space to develop their own theories, negotiate their own learning, and build a deep and personal understanding of the world they live in.
Our Values
Children First
We identify, recognise, and respond to the needs of every child in our care. Always.
Being Knowledgeable
Our educators are guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and the principles of How Does Learning Happen?, giving them the tools to offer the very finest early years program.
Teamwork
Collaboration among our educators is what makes our program so strong. We work together, support each other, and grow together.
Partnership and Transparency
We believe in open, honest partnerships with families and community partners. You will always know what is happening and why.
A Safe and Joyful Environment
Every health and safety measure is in place and maintained with care. We want every child to feel safe, free, and genuinely happy here.
Professional Excellence
We hold ourselves to a high standard in everything we do, from how we communicate with families to how we show up for the children in our care every single day.
Our Philosophy of Care
Our programming is Reggio Emilia-inspired and deeply aligned with a whole-child approach to early learning.
The Reggio Emilia Approach
The Reggio Emilia philosophy is built on the belief that every child holds remarkable potential. It recognises children as capable, rights-bearing individuals who learn through relationship, through exploration, and through the hundred languages that belong to all human beings.
At its heart, the approach recognises that children and teachers are resourceful, curious researchers together. Learning is not delivered but discovered, through genuine inquiry, thoughtful questioning, and deep engagement with the world.
Documentation plays a central role, allowing educators to understand and extend each child's thinking, while parents are invited to be full participants in the life of the school.
How does learning happen?
Our program is also shaped by the “How Does Learning Happen”? A framework, which is organised around four fundamental conditions for children to flourish:
Belonging
Well-Being
Engagement
Expression
These foundations are woven into everything we do, through our interactions with children, our relationships with families, and the way our educators approach their work every day.
