Family owned and operated, Little Munchkins Childcare Centre provides high-quality childcare at competitive prices.

Unlike the big players in the childcare business, we prefer to operate in a family setting to ensure the comfort and safety of all children under our care. Futhermore, having just the one centre guarantees peace of mind for all parents who place their trust in us as the level of care in our centre is paramount.

As parents ourselves, you can rest assured that your child will be in safe hands while you are busy at work. Our management and staff are committed to creating a happy, stable and positive environment for children.

We also make sure your child is provided with healthy food throughout the day, including delicious and nutritious snacks and hot lunches. Altogether, we provide four meals per day: breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

If you're interested in our childcare centre, feel free to contact us for further information. Alternatively, pop in for a tour anytime, no appointment necessary.

Our facility provides high-quality educational resources and curriculum programs to enrich children’s learning. 

At Woodlea Early Education, we support children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. We tailor our learning programs to respond to the individual needs and interests of the children we care for, and we provide children with opportunities to learn new skills and face new challenges every day. 

Our educators are passionate about early childhood education and are committed to providing early learning programs that are fun, engaging, and purposeful. Our programs promote school readiness and community mindedness, preparing children for success. 

Nutrition policy

At Woodlea Early Education Centre, we provide five meals each day: breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack. Our menu has been designed with children’s nutritional needs in mind, taking into account the energy and nutrition requirements for growth and development. 

Our rotating seasonal menu offers a variety of options, and our onsite cook is able to cater to a range of special dietary requirements. Our meal programs aim to promote good nutrition and healthy habits. We share nutritional information with families, letting parents know which foods children enjoy and might like to try at home. 

At Woodlea Early Education Centre, mealtimes are important opportunities for social development. Children are encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations with their educators and peers in our dining room environment. 

Grounds

Our early learning centre is home to a large outdoor yard, plenty of open space, and a sandpit. Children have access to a range of educational toys and resources. 

Communication

Our educators value the importance of families in children’s learning. We incorporate family feedback in our learning programs, and we encourage families to reflect with educators on children’s growth and development. We use an online learning portal to communicate learning progress with children’s families throughout the day, and parents are always encouraged to communicate with educators.
