Our Vision

At Little St Margaret’s, we believe that children thrive when given opportunities to face meaningful challenges that build their confidence—not only in their abilities but in their identity as capable and curious learners. These experiences foster a strong sense of achievement and encourage a positive, lifelong attitude toward exploration, discovery, and learning. By celebrating both effort and progress, we cultivate a mindset that embraces new experiences with enthusiasm and resilience.

Our educational philosophy is guided by three core principles that underpin our approach to early childhood learning:

DEVELOPMENT
We recognise that each child develops at their own pace and moves through distinct stages of growth. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to meet individual needs, support unique learning styles, and build upon each child’s strengths, ensuring every learner feels seen, supported, and empowered.

DOING
Children learn most effectively through active involvement. Our curriculum is grounded in hands-on experiences that encourage children to think, question, explore, and experiment. This approach enables children to develop a deep, practical understanding of the world around them, fostering independence and critical thinking.

PLAY
We value play as the cornerstone of early learning. Through play, children make sense of their world, express themselves, and develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Our educators use play-based learning intentionally to guide children toward developmental milestones and curriculum goals—because in early childhood, play is not just fun, it’s foundational.
