Little Flyers Childcare Darwin

Located conveniently near Darwin Airport on Osgood Road, Little Flyers Childcare Darwin offers a premium long day care program for children and infants ages 6 weeks to 5 years.

At Little Flyers Childcare, we aim to inspire exciting play opportunities for children as they grow and develop. We embrace the image of the child as a competent, confident, creative and active learner, and our energetic team of educators are committed to offering an outstanding program of learning.

We offer a Pre-School drop-off & pick-up program for children at the following schools: Milner Primary School, Leanyer Primary School, and Alawa Primary School.

To meet demand, we have expanded the Centre by building two new classrooms and adding a very exciting playground extension that includes a real airplane. The new classrooms and playground are now in operation and we are taking new enrollments. Please contact the Centre for more information about our vacancies.

Sarah Carne Centre Director

As Director, I am in the awesome position of being able to directly listen to and help families coming into our service. I enjoy my role in helping to create a warm and responsive environment here at Little Flyers Darwin for our children, our families, and our team of educators.

When I am with children, I love just chatting with them. I delight in the magic of our conversations, hearing their language development, and listening to their ideas and hypotheses. I find children are naturally creative in their problem solving and they have an innate ability to come up with a solution.

As an educator, I feel it is also my role to just be a friend to the children here. I feel I am lucky to have this relationship with children and I see constantly their willingness and enthusiasm for something new. Children are interested in the big things and the tiny minute details we adults often miss, and I love sharing these moments of learning and observation.

In my leadership role, I feel honoured to be in a position where I can support our educators to build their confidence with their pedagogical practice and find solutions. We have a great team here and I am thrilled to be a part of the Little Flyers family.

The Little Flyers Playground

"Play is the highest form of research" - Albert Einstein

Learning has never been so much fun! Our educators (and children) love our aeronautical themed playground, which features an aircraft control tower to direct traffic. A water park for cool and wet play is perfect for the hot days in Darwin. Our playground (see below) features a real airplane to further inspire children's interest and excitement about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

Tiwi A & Tiwi B

Tiwi A & B are for children aged 6 weeks to 15 months. Nurturing, responsive relationships with children and infants are our primary focus within the Tiwi Nursery. Educators follow your child’s individual routines, supporting proper sleep, play, and development.

Ibis & Egret

Our Ibis and Egret classrooms are for children aged 15 to 24 months. Educators support the growing independence and burst in language development of this age group, while responding to the need for closeness and security. Play is central to all learning, and our educators ensure that there are many varied educational experiences to support the children's learning journey.

Cockatoo & Kookaburra

Our Cockatoo & Kookaburra classrooms are for children aged 2 to 3 years. The curriculum is based on children's emergent interests and engages their developing curiosity and sense of adventure. The daily program provides choice for children between the indoor and outdoor classroom, and the learning environments are prepared to challenge and engage children.

Brolga

Our Brolga classroom is for children 3 to 4 years. Our curriculum for this age group is a healthy mix of building on their current abilities with a program of intentional teaching and an emergent curriculum based on new interests. There are many opportunities to support growing self-help skills, independence, and the development of social skills by providing experiences for our children to explore and play.

Jabiru

Our Jabiru classroom for children 3.5 - 5 years is a dedicated Pre-School program presenting the NT Pre-School Curriculum. Our highly qualified team implements the five outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and supports intentional teaching of language, literacy and numeracy through play based learning.

We implement the Early Languages Learning Australia (ELLA) within the classroom – this national program introduces the French language through apps on iPads engaging children in language through games and songs.
