He has built such a strong and caring relationship with Miss Iris and her team of educators. He loves playing, eating, and interacting with everyone around him, and it’s wonderful to see him so happy and excited to attend.
From the moment you walk through the door as a parent, you are greeted by staff who are positive, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They all say hello to Lewis and know him by his first name, which makes us feel like part of a community rather than just another family.
The communication from Lyndal and Zaria is exceptional. They are always prompt in responding to enquiries, concerns, or feedback, and we love receiving the regular photo updates through the app. The daily conversations with the educators about Lewis’s day, including his activities and sleep patterns, give us great peace of mind.
We are incredibly happy with our experience and would highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a nurturing, professional, and supportive environment for their child.
The daily activities are both fun and educational, fostering creativity and curiosity in a safe environment. Our daughter comes home every day with new skills and photos of her adventures. The facility is always clean and well-organized, and we appreciate the frequent updates and photos from the teachers, keeping us informed and connected.
It's clear that Little Scholars Ashmore is more than just a daycare; it's a community that supports and cherishes every child. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and highly recommend Little Scholars Ashmore to any parent looking for exceptional care for their little one.

At Little Scholars, we understand how important it is for you to follow the progress of your child’s development.
Throughout the year, your child’s portfolio will be updated daily, and contain journals, photographs, project work and learning stories. You can view your child’s portfolio any time you visit your child’s studio.
In addition to the portfolio, parents have access to our very own app. Our parent app provides you with photographs and a summary of your child’s week, documenting the day’s progress so you can see what your child is learning. So you know you’re in safe hands when you enrol your child at our childcare centre!
