About Little Saints

Little Saints keep children at the heart of all that we do. We are innovative by nature and deeply committed to providing opportunities for learning that are in alignment with what is best for children and their development.

Providing opportunities for learning in nature forms part of our pedagogy as does understanding how children’s play schemas provide us with windows into their stage of development and readiness for new opportunities. We know that this stage of learning and growth is imperative to future successful outcomes and are committed to prioritising the time and space for educators to form secure, responsive and joyful relationships with our little explorers.

Nestled within the broader All Saints’ College campus, we value our community and the connections our children make within and beyond the fences of Waabiny. We believe wholeheartedly in our educators, and we strive to be a place where you can grow professionally with access to high quality professional learning, opportunities for career growth and access to mentoring and coaching.
