Australian Enterprise Awards 2026 | 61 Dec25097 A child’s first steps in education are magical, with these experiences paving the way for a journey that will define their formative years. Recognising the importance of safety, play, socialisation, and learning at this preliminary stage, Little Giggles Early Learning Centre offers two high-quality environments in New South Wales, with both of these locations providing qualified early childhood educators and teachers and a curriculum focused on school readiness. Below, the team behind Little Giggles tell us in their own words about what makes its centres unique. Nestled in the heart of Woy Woy and Killarney Vale, Little Giggles stands as a proud, family-owned and operated provider of quality Early Childhood Education and Care. Our small, welcoming services offer families something truly special – a nurturing environment where children feel safe to play, socialise, and are empowered to learn at their own pace. At Little Giggles, relationships are at the core of everything we do. Guided by the Circle of Security approach, our educators build strong, trusting bonds with children and develop collaborative partnerships with families. These relationships form the heart of our community, ensuring every child feels secure, valued, and deeply connected. Our centres are a heartfelt reflection of the vibrant communities we serve. Families from diverse cultural backgrounds come together, enriching our programmes and helping us create a genuine sense of belonging. With a cosy, homely atmosphere, Little Giggles offers a warm space where every child is celebrated for who they are. A Day in the Life at Little Giggles Music and Movement: Each morning begins with harmony and connection as we sing an Acknowledgement of Country, setting a tone of respect and unity. Through song, rhythm, and dance, children explore musical storytelling woven naturally into our routines and transitions. Creativity and Imaginative Play: From sandpit adventures to culinary creations and dress-up days, imaginative play is at the heart of learning. Here, children discover friendship, confidence, and joy through creative self-expression. Literacy Learning: Our days are filled with stories, conversation, and discovery. Children engage in reading, listening, and early language activities – from phonics and ABC learning to lively story circles that bring characters to life. Numeracy and S.T.E.A.M: Exploration and curiosity drive our play-based learning approach. Children experiment, build, and question through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics – developing essential problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Arts and Crafts: Creativity flourishes in every corner of our centres. Colour, texture, and imagination come together as children explore fine-motor activities, mindfulness through art, and handson expression that sparks pride and joy. Early Learning Languages (ELLs): Diversity and inclusion shine through our monthly cultural celebrations and incursions. Using the ELLA Program, children engage in AUSLAN and other languages through songs, games, and interactive vocabularybuilding experiences. School Readiness: At Little Giggles, school readiness begins on day one. Our tailored programme for preschool-aged children nurtures independence, emotional regulation, and resilience – empowering each child to thrive as they transition to ‘big school’. Conclusion Little Giggles is more than just a childcare service – it’s a community of care, creativity, and connection. We’re proud to support families across the Central Coast, helping every child laugh, learn, and grow in an environment that truly feels like home.
