About the Business
Welcome to Little Bright Explorers, a family-owned institution located in Como, Barker Avenue, 10. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, R.I.E Philosophy, and Pikler Approach, we provide a nurturing and respectful environment for children to embark on their own unique paths of discovery.
At Little Bright Explorers, we believe in offering the best possible education and care for children. Our center has been thoughtfully designed and resourced to cater to the varying needs of families. From day one, we prioritize developing loving, nurturing, and respectful relationships with both children and families.
Our dedicated educators are passionate about giving children the best possible start in life. They focus on building respectful and nurturing relationships while supporting children in developing independence, self-regulation, and a sense of agency. Our goal is to inspire children to become responsible and active members of society.
We understand that the support for families should continue throughout their time with us. That's why we strive to provide a "home away from home" experience for our children, families, and educators. We regularly host events and encourage families to be as involved as they choose to be, understanding the demands of busy lives.
Documentation plays a crucial role in understanding children's interests, ideas, development, and progression of learning. Through observations, photography, video, conversation transcripts, and visual mediums like paint, wire, clay, or drawing materials, we purposefully gather, analyze, document, and display children's learning and progression of thinking.
Our Nursery room is specifically designed to allow babies to move, explore, and discover. With natural lighting, thoughtfully displayed materials, and interesting manipulatives, we foster curiosity while promoting a calm ambiance. We are sensitive to each baby's individual needs and strive to recreate their daily routines for a happy and healthy experience. Our room has a limit of 8-10 babies per day to ensure high-quality care.
In our Toddler Room, natural light, a loving approach, and inspiration create an environment for our children to grow and develop to their full potential. Educators treat toddlers as capable individuals, respecting and valuing their opinions, actions, and thoughts. The Reggio Emilia inspired project work encourages curiosity, investigation, and discovery for each child.
We employ a Reggio-inspired, project-based approach to early childhood education. With supportive educators close at hand, children have numerous opportunities to work together, building their own and each other's knowledge and skills. Our educators provide a balanced curriculum that combines planned and emergent experiences, developed from the interests, ideas, and questions of children. Through these experiences, children develop early literacy and numeracy skills, creativity and imagination, social and communication skills, emotional well-being, and respect for each other and the environment.
At Little Bright Explorers, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to explore, learn, and grow. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery!

Reviews
"Wonderful place for children & Families! The educator actually care and take the time to build relationships with parents."
"Little Bright Explorers has been a wonderful safe, exciting base for our 2 girls. They both have loved their time at LBE. They have left us happily in the morning, and returned full of stories about all their favourite things craft, play-dough, outdoor play and friends! Thank you to the wonderful staff who have taken such care to make their time at LBE so special. Our family has been at the centre for 3 years and there are lots of staff who have seen our girls grow up to school age!"
"We love LBE what a beautiful childcare centre! We have had both our children at LBE for over the last 4 years, the staff are amazing and attentive, both of our kids always felt comfortable leaving us and we would pick them up smiling!! We will miss LBE if you are considering sending your child here do not hesitate! Thanks LBE for everything! The Angwin family"
"My wife and I did a very thorough assessment of local daycares in the Como/South Perth area visiting five. We had been wary of going with LBE as they hadn't been rated yet on StartingBlocks.gov, but we took a chance. Over one year on we are ever so glad we did! We incredibly happy with the staff, facilities, educating methods, and meals provided. Staff: friendly yet professional, and above all they CARE about our child; Facilities: bright, clean, modern, and well looked after; Methods: play-based learning model implemented into daily activities, Meals: varied, nutritional, and (at least according to our child) - tasty! Photo is of last year's Halloween event - LBE does a fair few extra events like this to get parents to come in and connect with the Educators, other parents and other kids"
"I woud give this place 20 stars if I could! We absolutely love Little Bright Explorers and so does our little girl. She has been there since the very first month of them being opened and we don't regret choosing them to look after our daughter. She has a blast every day and in fact she never wants to leave and it is a real struggle to get her into the car. She would stay there 24/7 if she could! We love the educators and the Reggio Emilia approach that they follow. We recommend Little Bright Explorers 100%."
