Our Team

Staffing arrangements

Little Flyers Learning Centres are governed by the Department of Education and Training whose Regulations state that there will be one educator for every four children under 36 months, and one educator for every 11 children over 36 months. Our staffing roster is consistent and ensures continuity for all of the children in our care. That is, there will always be a familiar educator on duty for your child. Little Flyers Learning Centres prefer not to use agency staff as we believe it is important for all educators who come into contact with our children and families are familiar with the Centre’s policies, procedures and routines, as well as the children and families enrolled in our Centres.

Staff professional development

At Little Flyers we believe learning is never ending. It is for this reason that we offer our staff up to date and current training yearly in areas such as how children learn, music and movement, respectful relationships, child protection, communicating with families, first aid, nutrition and hygiene practices. . . and much more.

Kindergarten Teachers

Each of our kindergarten teachers hold a Degree in Early Childhood or Teaching qualification as approved by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACEQUA) for both our 3 and 4 Year Old kindergarten programs. Our kindergarten teachers work a full 40 hour week with the exception of state school holiday periods; fostering and inspiring different approaches to stimulate a love of learning for your child which they will take with them on their school life journey.

Students and volunteers

Little Flyers is committed to facilitating the training of students undertaking studies in Early Childhood Education and to enhance development of mutually beneficial relationships with training institutions. Students will not be left unsupervised while in the care of children and will not be counted in ratios.
