The curriculum at Little Genius Academy is guided by the National Quality Framework (NQF) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). The EYLF is divided into three sections: Belonging, Being and Becoming. These three elements are the basis of all our experiences and programs to ensure that we are providing quality education to all the children in our care.
Our programs at Little Genius Academy allow children to develop naturally where our educators can guide their individual learning through beautiful, large environments and well-resourced materials.
Learning outcomes, developmental milestones plus group and individual observations of your child are documented in a wide variety of ways. This ensures that the staff at Little Genius Academy are taking a holistic approach to your child’s development and are extending their skills and abilities in meaningful, fun and engaging ways. Our team will also draw on you for information and feedback regarding your child’s interests and needs as well as your aspirations regarding your child’s learning.
For more information about our curriculum and especially our pre-school program please visit our Our Programs & Curriculum page.
Little Genius has developed its own strategy to implement the The Early Years Learning Framework in our curriculum, built around learning activities in specific content areas such as “Mathematical Thinking”, “Literary Thinking”, “Scientific/Nature Thinking” and the Arts.
Our program reflects the rich diversity of our community, integrating culturally diverse information/perspectives that providing opportunities for children to thrive in an anti-bias curriculum.
We carefully arrange the environment and the teaching materials to promote active learning, problem solving and independence.

What our Happy Parents Say
My experience of Little Genius Academy has just been amazing. The Educators are engaging and welcoming with the children, as well as the parents, and my soon to be one year old can’t wait to see them each time we go.
The facilities are fabulous and the activities they run daily are excellent for their development. In the 4 weeks my child has been going there he has learnt to eat by himself, paint, climb, walk and most important of all, socialise. They send personalised daily journals to show what the kids have been up to, mentioning them each by name and something they’ve done and really get to know your baby and their requirements each day. I would highly recommend them!

Highly recommend Little Genius, has the most colourful and clean environment with huge space not the kind you will find in most childcare. Great facilities on site! The centres has nice and cosy sleeping environment which I believe is what most parents concern about. We have been there for over 3 months the teachers have always been caring, cheerful and responsible. Recently they merged onto a new app system called Childcarer which is really the best daily update system I have ever seen- it’s almost like consistent live show updates of your child at the care and give you the best reassurance. Most importantly, the centre is well organised and maintained will need to give extraordinary appraisal to the nominated supervisor.

My son loves it, I come down on my lunch break, the staff are amazing, the space is amazing, the location is amazing with a view of the harbour bridge … which I don’t think the kids appreciate.
