Learning through play

We are often told by teachers at schools that they can identify the children who come through Little Possums.
Mission
Little Possums
Early Years Philosophy
We provide a unique home environment in a natural and environmentally friendly setting, which allows the children to learn to respect nature and develop knowledge of our world and its sustainability.
Our philosophy is developed in conjunction with staff, parents, children and our wider community.
A Word
From Our Co-Director
“I have been in the Early Education industry for over 24 years, I studied in England and ran a pre-school before migrating to the beautiful Perth hills in 2005 and have worked at Little Possums ever since.
Our reputation in the community is outstanding, this is evident when new families come to the centre and comment on how warm and inviting the atmosphere is, and how it has such a special feeling. We constantly receive positive feedback from parents and members of the community about the centre and staff. It is an asset that our wonderful educators are long standing and completely devoted to their jobs.
I am very proud to be the Director of such a successful Early Education Centre.”
A Word
From Our Co-Director
“I am privileged to work in such a beautiful and natural setting where nature inspires so much of our children’s learning and places our care: firmly in respect to the world around us, as caretakers for the plants and animals we share it with. Seeing the world and learning alongside our young children has always been a passion, and through my arts and education studies I have developed a strong philosophy in supporting the whole child, socially, emotionally and physically. Little Possums has wonderful staff and families and is relationship focused, it is the perfect place to share a love of learning. “
