Welcome to

LITTLE MAGPIES

Early childhood education is the crucial process of developing and preparing children for later life and adulthood. It is the foundation for preparing them to be physically, emotionally and cognitively ready.

Childcare services play an important role in the early childhood development process, and are so much more than just a drop-off location for working parents. They are places where children can engage in a variety of important social and educational activities to help them develop confidence, social skills, language, communication abilities, and school-readiness.
