About Froebel

Froebel is your boutique not-for-profit provider of early education and care services. We offer your child:

excellence in early childhood education and care,
a unique immersive language learning approach,
child-led, inquiry-based learning through our Little Scientists program.

Our Froebel Early Learning Centres become an extension of your family — a new, small world where your child can begin growing into a community of peers within a stimulating learning environment.

Our program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and is designed to encourage your child’s autonomy, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Our philosophy is rooted in the progressive ideas developed by Friedrich Fröbel, the renowned educator who shaped the kindergarten concept more than 175 years ago. His holistic approach to early learning continues to inspire us today: child-centred, play- and inquiry-based, and in harmony with nature.

Vision

We want every child to have the opportunity to grow into a curious, capable, caring and contributing global citizen, beginning with an empowered childhood.

Mission

At Froebel, we contribute to this vision by promoting children’s rights to self-determination and participation, recognising the integrity of childhood in its own right.

We scaffold children’s learning by providing contemporary bilingual, play- and inquiry-based early education tailored to the individual child. This creates the foundation for sustainable community engagement within a connected world.

Our educators transform children’s curiosity into learning — with knowledge, professionalism and vigour.
We are part of the village that raises a child and nurture collaborative relationships with children, families and communities.

Authenticity, integrity and mutual respect guide communication, collaboration and decision-making throughout our organisation.

We value the richness that comes from diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

We challenge the status quo, encourage creative thinking, and strive to shape progress that benefits young children and families.

We always dream big.
