All of our educators are supported throughout their time at Little Red Fox. Your child, once enrolled will be visited by one of our qualified and registered Early Childhood teachers each month. On this visit our visiting teacher will help guide and support your child's educator in planning for their learning, giving new ideas on how to extend their current interests. As your child gets older their educator will continue to meet the child's needs and prepare them for their transition into their school years.

What our families are saying..
“I had no idea how many opportunities my child would get at Little Red Fox and how affordable it would be. There is so much on offer throughout the month. My child loves it and adores her educator so much. They have got such a great connection with each other. We love that she gets to explore real life stuff such as feeding the chickens and exploring the farm and she loves going to music, gymnastics, and playgroups throughout the month.”-Nicole (Mum), Nelson.
