School children engage in education and practical opportunities that are fun , exciting and develop skills as they bridge into high school education.
At Little Emu Academy, our learning program is designed using an Interest Based Curriculum. Using this curriculum, we plan engaging experiences based on children’s interests, abilities, and developmental stages. Through play, routines, and meaningful interactions, children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and build important life skills.
Our program supports:
Early literacy and numeracy skills
Social skills, confidence, and emotional wellbeing
Independence and self-help skills
Creativity, movement, and problem-solving
Educators carefully guide learning each day, creating a balance between structured activities and free play. This helps children feel secure while still having the freedom to explore and learn naturally.

Incorporated within our day care program, our preschool program supports a smooth transition into school by building strong foundations through play and everyday experiences.
By following children’s interests, educators create meaningful learning opportunities that naturally develop early literacy and numeracy skills, such as listening, problem-solving, counting, and recognising patterns. These experiences help children build confidence and a positive attitude toward learning.
Rather than formal worksheets or written tasks, learning happens through hands-on play, conversations, stories, games, and group experiences. This approach helps children strengthen their current skills while gently extending them in ways that feel enjoyable and achievable.
Our program is thoughtfully planned and guided by educators to ensure children are challenged, supported, and well prepared for the routines, expectations, and learning styles of preschool and school.
The focus is on helping children feel confident, capable, and ready for their next stage of learning.
At Little Emu Academy our range of extra-curricular programs enhance learning, teaching children about themselves and the world they live in.
