About the Business
Welcome to Little Darlings Early Development Centre in Upper Mount Gravatt, Australia. Our establishment is located at 1826 Logan Road and serves as a point of interest and school for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old.
At Little Darlings, our primary goal is to create an early learning environment that caters to the unique needs of each child. We take pride in providing a warm, welcoming, and safe space that promotes resilience, respect, and the building of strong positive relationships. Our center aims to work as a team with parents, respecting their individual and family values, and making our center an extension of their home.
Our dedicated staff and supportive management team offer an inclusive environment that teaches children acceptance of diversity, fosters friendships, and encourages their evolving independence through self-help skills. We believe in flexible routines that create endless learning opportunities, stimulating creativity and problem-solving in both spontaneous and planned activities.
Little Darlings Early Development Centre operates from Monday to Friday, offering full care from 6:15 am to 6:15 pm. We are open 52 weeks a year, except on public holidays. Our learning program is built on the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on Belonging, Being, and Becoming.
Our vision is to provide a rich learning environment that is welcoming and safe for all children, families, and the community. We strive to support the individual needs of each child, promoting resilience and respect. Our center treats all children with respect, providing them with a warm, secure, and nurturing environment that fosters strong positive relationships.
We are committed to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the National Quality Standard. Our center ensures the safety and wellbeing of every child while protecting them from harm and respecting their dignity. Quality care is our priority.
We believe that children are capable and competent learners. Our curriculum is based on their interests and ideas, with a focus on play-based learning experiences that allow children to be creative, imaginative, and in control of their own learning.
We aim to create an environment that values each child as a unique and valued contributor to our community. All children are treated equally, regardless of circumstances, abilities, language, or culture. Our staff promote respect for diversity and model positive attitudes towards it. We encourage parent input in creating these learning spaces.
We respect the diversity of families and communities, fostering children's motivation to learn and reinforcing their sense of themselves as competent learners. Open communication and parent involvement are encouraged to form positive and trusting bonds between staff and parents. We believe that children's learning is dynamic, complex, and holistic, encompassing physical, social, emotional, personal, spiritual, creative, and linguistic aspects.
At Little Darlings Early Development Centre, we believe that play-based programs provide the optimal environment for learning. We provide stimulating indoor and outdoor spaces where children can actively construct their knowledge, explore, and extend on their interests. Our staff continuously improve their standard of care through professional development, striving for excellence.

Reviews
"Our little one has been going to Little Darlings since she was 6 months old (she is almost 3 now). From the moment we walked into the centre the first time to do a walk through, we were made to feel like part of the family. Little Darlings is warm, friendly, bright, and colourful, with the kids' art and photos and projects everywhere. The facilities are wonderful, with so many opportunities to engage in different interests in every room, and the outside play area is fantastic! The curriculum strikes that beautiful balance between educational and fun, and the educators in our little one's room tailor the learning to each child's interests, so it feels like they are getting a bespoke education made just for them; it has skyrocketed her learning in such a short time. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Each and every one of them - from the Director, to the chef, to all the wonderful educators - is a treasure, and we feel really lucky that they're so involved and influential in our child's early years. This centre is truly incredible, and I highly recommend it. If I could give more stars, I absolutely would."
"My son has been attending Little Darlings since he was about 18 months, he is now nearly 4 yrs old. Little Darlings is a wonderful clean, colourful and bright childcare facility with kind, caring and nurturing staff. This place has been a blessing to us.The chef serves delicious healthy fresh food that my son raves about constantly. My son is excited to go to school to do the fun activities, learn new things and play in the playground outside with his teachers and friends."
"The center is clean and spacious. There is a large outdoor area where the kids spend most of their day. The kids do a lot of activities and our son is happy to see his friends and carers in the morning. We had quick communication from the first email and they have been lovely to deal with. I would highly recommend."
"My son has been attending this daycare for over 6 months and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives here! He is genuinely loved by his daycare teachers as well as the director. All the staff are wonderful and I love the emails sent to show what the kids have been learning throughout the day. As for the recent negative review it seems to me they have a personal grudge as I've never witnessed any shouting and the kids are given plenty of food. Ignore the bad review and see for yourself how wonderful this daycare really is."
"Everyone at little darlings are truly amazing! I love the way my boy is genuinely loved and cared for by his daycare mummies and he gets so excited to go see his friends. We are always greeted with big happy smiles and sammy always gets big hugs, it makes it so much easier as a parent just to drop him there not having to worry about bringing nappies or making lunches too as they provide it all. :)"
