Our Education Philosophy
A complementary tutoring service to traditional kindy, creating a holistic, rich, joyful environment, with small class sizes where children are safe, have fun and feel empowered to learn.
Small Scholars runs boutique classes for 3 – 6 year-olds, centred around a nurturing, development focussed program. Our intimate class settings ensure that children experience joy, laughter, and the confidence to embrace learning. Let us redefine the early learning experience, where happiness and confidence set the foundation for successful schooling.
Embarking on the journey into kindy and Prep is a monumental step for both children and parents. At Small Scholars, we champion a stress-free transition by helping parents determine when their child is ready for Prep. We believe in enabling families to make informed decisions, ensuring that their child enters Prep socially, emotionally, and developmentally prepared, rather than solely based on their birth date. We tailor personalized learning plans that inspire and prepare your child.

After being recommended small scholars from a local friend, our youngest attended for a period before starting kindy. He loved going and enjoyed the activities. We felt it definitely helped prepare him for kindy.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend the Small Scholars holiday program. I am so appreciative of the care and effort that goes into it. The moment my little boy walks in, there's such a sense of joy and curiosity - all the craft activities are set up and ready to go, and all the equipment outside for games. There's always a lovely buzz in the room. It makes for such a fun, busy and productive day of learning and play during the holidays. Something I could not create at home!!Posted on Google![]()

Small Scholars has an incredible program and we cannot recommend it highly enough. My son is heading into Prep next year and absolutely loved every single week attending the Prepare for Prep classes. He was always excited to go and came home happy, confident, and proud of what he had learned. He loved the balance of learning and play, especially the beautiful outdoor spaces, climbing and playing on the playground, and being able to learn in such an engaging environment. Having the same amazing teachers each week made such a difference – the consistency helped him build strong connections and confidence. Every week he would come home telling us something new he had learned, which truly shows how meaningful and effective the program is. Thank you to the wonderful team at Small Scholars for preparing him so beautifully and confidently for Prep. We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and passion you bring to your program.Posted on Google![]()

My son has been attending Small Scholars for the past three years. First for Mini Mondays (no longer running), then Kindy Readiness classes, and finally School Readiness classes. They also run a fantastic holiday program. Small Scholars is such a gorgeous, warm, inviting environment for children to learn, play and thrive in, and the highlight of every week for my son was always going to “Miss Amie’s”. Amie and the other teachers put so much dedicated work into preparing little ones for kindy and prep, which provides an amazing start (or support) to their early education, or simply operates as an alternative to childcare or kinder (which is why we attended). It’s a beautiful little school that I cannot recommend highly enough. Your children will adore it!Posted on Google![]()

Small Scholars is such a gem! Our son was getting feedback from Kindy that he might need extra help getting ready for school and our neighbour suggested Small Scholars. We are so grateful to have found it. Miss Amie is straight out of Roald Dhal's book Matilda (Miss Honey ofc), with a sweet, calming nature that even mellows me out on drop off and pick up. And our son loves the place! He begs me to take him every day and is making massive progress in his counting and writing. I see that he genuinely enjoys it so much so that I will send my daughter when she gets a little older. Don't pass on this place it's wonderful!Posted on Google![]()

Our son attended the Small Scholars school readiness programme and from the moment he arrived for the trial he didn’t want to leave. Amie is so gentle and kind with the kids and made our son feel instantly at home. He was always energised and full of stories after the sessions and I think it’s set him up well for the change from kindy to school. Highly recommend Amie and her team.
