Our Core Values
Our Core Values
At Little Feet, we provide a safe, warm, and nurturing environment where children are valued as capable and confident learners. Through play-based experiences, we support their curiosity, independence, and holistic development.
We know academic performance is important because academic qualifications are the passport to accessing a good university.
Our team of expert Educators is the central hub for the Excellence in Little Feet Childcare Centre.
Early development plays a major role in subsequent school performance, health, socialization, and future earnings.
We cater for the ages and stages of each child from birth to 5 years with areas and activities that are tailored to each age group.
Developmental Stages
Babies (3 months – 2 years)
In our baby programme, we provide a warm, calm, and nurturing environment where infants feel safe and secure. Babies learn through close relationships with teachers, consistent routines, and gentle sensory experiences such as touch, sound, movement, music, and visual exploration.
Every interaction supports early brain development, communication, and emotional security. This stage is essential for building trust, attachment, and confidence, which forms the foundation for all future learning and healthy development.
Developmental Stages
Toddlers (2 – 3 years)
Toddlers are active, curious learners who explore the world through movement, play, and repetition. In this stage, children develop language, independence, social skills, and emotional awareness.
Through play-based experiences like building, painting, outdoor play, music, and group activities, toddlers begin to express themselves and learn how to interact with others.
This stage helps children develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and self-control, which are important for lifelong learning and relationships.
Developmental Stages
Preschoolers (3 – 5 years)
Our preschool programme prepares children for school and future learning by encouraging curiosity, creativity, and independence. Children engage in early literacy, numeracy, science exploration, group learning, and imaginative play based on their interests.
They learn to communicate clearly, think critically, work with others, and manage their own learning. This stage builds strong foundations for school readiness, helping children become confident, capable learners who are prepared for future education and life success.
