A place where little learners feel safe, supported & inspired

At Little Footsteps, we believe every child deserves a nurturing environment where they feel valued, encouraged, and confident to learn through play. Across our three Blenheim centres - John Street, Scott Street, and Taylor Pass Road, we provide early childhood education and care for children from infancy through to school age.

More than just childcare, Little Footsteps is a welcoming community where meaningful relationships, curiosity, creativity, and emotional wellbeing are at the heart of every day. Our passionate teachers are committed to creating safe and inspiring environments that help children grow into confident, capable learners.

Whether you’re beginning your childcare journey or looking for a centre that feels like the right fit for your family, we’d love to welcome you.

Our Philosophy

We believe early childhood education is about more than preparing children for school - it’s about helping children feel confident, connected, capable, and empowered to explore the world around them.

Across all three centres, our approach is grounded in meaningful relationships, play-based learning, emotional wellbeing, and creating a strong sense of belonging for every child and family. Our shared values include:

Respecting people, places and things

Nurturing Relationships

Play, Curiosity & Exploration

Diversity & Inclusion

Confidence, Courage & Resilience

Empowerment & Growth

While each centre has its own unique learning priorities and personality, all three centres work together to create a supportive and welcoming Little Footsteps community.
