Age Groups

Little Scallywags caters for three age groups:

• Babies (6 weeks – 18 months)
• Toddlers (18 months – 3 years)
• Pre–kinder (3 – 4 years)
• Kindergarten (4 – 6 years)

Children are placed into groups that are age and developmentally appropriate.

There is flexibility to ensure children are placed in the group most suited to their needs. Transitions from group to group are made with consultation between parents and staff to ensure a comfortable and positive progression. Families are encouraged to meet with new staff before transition commences.

We have low staff–child ratios in all age groups and experienced, dedicated carers in all rooms.

Nappies are provided.
