Tell us a little about you
Takes 90 seconds. No pressure.
Days built on play, planned with purpose.
Every Little Zebra room runs on a play-based curriculum guided by the national Early Years Learning Framework — joyful on the surface, deeply intentional underneath.
— PLAY-BASED CURRICULUM
We don't teach at children. We learn alongside them.
Worksheets and drills don’t build curious humans. Hands-in-the-dirt, big-question, follow-the-wonder days do.
Play is the work
Children learn fastest when they are deeply absorbed in play they have chosen. Our educators set up rich provocations, then follow the child’s lead.
Led by interests
A child obsessed with diggers becomes a study of ramps, gravity and measurement. We plan around what lights each group up.
Learning together
Mixed-age, small-group play builds empathy, negotiation and language — the social skills that matter most before school.
— THE FRAMEWORK
Belonging,Being & Becoming
Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework shapes everything we plan. Three words sit at its heart — and at the heart of our days.
01
Belonging
Knowing where and with whom you belong — to family, community and place.
02
Being
The right to simply be a child: to play, to wonder, to rest, to feel.
03
Becoming
Growing the skills, identity and confidence to step into what comes next.
Our educators document each child’s learning against the EYLF’s five outcomes, shared with you through your family app.
— ENVIRONMENTS
The space is the third teacher.
Our yards are built for big weather and big imaginations — sandpits, mud kitchens, veggie gardens, shade trees and loose parts that become whatever the day needs them to be.
— INDOORS
Calm rooms, real materials.
Inside, you’ll find wood not plastic, soft light not fluorescent glare, and quiet corners for the child who needs a moment. Spaces are arranged so children can find, use and pack away their own tools — independence built into the furniture.
— PARENT COMMUNICATION
You'll never wonder how their day went.
We use Storypark to ensure you stay in the loop – without the guilt of missing a moment.
Daily app updates
Photos, meals, sleeps and little milestones land on your phone throughout the day.
Educator partnerships
Your child’s key educator knows them by name, mood and favourite song — and so will you.
Learning journals
Termly snapshots show how your child is tracking against the EYLF outcomes.
— CHILD SAFETY
Safety is the floor, not the ceiling.
We are committed to being a Child Safe Organisation. Every child has the right to feel safe, respected and valued – and every adult here shares the responsibility for making that real.
Speak up, always
If anything ever worries you about your child’s wellbeing, we want to hear it. Our directors are visible, contactable and take every concern seriously.

The rest follows.
We don’t take enrolment lightly, and we know you don’t either. The best way to know if Little Zebra is right for your family is to come in, walk the rooms, and meet our educators.
