Our Approach
At Little Genius Cottage, we believe that every child is unique and has their own learning style. That's why we provide individualised care and attention to each child, while also fostering a sense of community and belonging. Our approach is centred around play-based learning, where we encourage children to explore, experiment, and discover the world around them.

Little Genius has been an excellent choice for my daughter. She started there when she was 1 year old and she's now 2.5 years. She loves the educators and other kids and talks about them constantly at home, she learns a lot and looks forward to her daycare time. We are very grateful

We transitioned our daughter here from a family daycare 7 months ago.
It’s a wonderful small daycare, the staff are professional and our daughter is happy here.
The staff are caring and empathetic when our daughter is occasionally sad during drop off.
I’m glad to have found Little Genius - recommended by a mum friend

We’ve had such a lovely experience with Little Genius Cottage in Chifley. Our 1-year-old daughter recently started here and she absolutely loves going each day, which makes drop-offs so much easier for us as parents.
The educators are kind, caring and really take the time to get to know the children. It’s clear they genuinely care about the kids and their wellbeing. We also really appreciate the updates and photos during the day — it’s so reassuring to see what she’s been up to.

Little Genius is truly the best preschool you could choose!
The educators are professional, kind, reliable, and incredibly patient. My son absolutely adores them—he even lists their names when talking about his day! It’s so reassuring to know he’s in such a safe and nurturing environment. Sylvia and the team feel like family, and we’ll truly miss them when he moves on to big school. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little Genius Cottage. The educators are caring, attentive, and make each child feel safe, supported, and engaged. Our children have grown in confidence and made lovely friendships. The communication from staff is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. They are also very accommodating. We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing and high quality centre — highly recommend to any family.
