Little Peoples Early Learning Centre Bourkelands located in Wagga Wagga, provides high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. As a family-owned and operated centre, we create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and grow.
Our long day care programs run 52 weeks a year, closing only for Public Holidays, ensuring flexibility for families. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), focusing on Being, Belonging, and Becoming, with a comprehensive Transition to School Program that supports a smooth progression to primary school.
✔ Engaging Early Learning Programs
We tailor our programs for different age groups, encouraging creativity, curiosity, and independence. Through structured activities and play-based learning, children develop essential skills in a supportive setting.
✔ Preschool Program (School Readiness)
Our preschool program focuses on preparing children for big school through early literacy, numeracy, communication, and social skills. Guided by the EYLF, children develop confidence, resilience, and a love of learning as they transition toward school.
✔ Nursery CareÂ
Our nursery program provides gentle, responsive care for infants and toddlers. Educators create secure routines that support early development, bonding, sensory exploration, and physical milestones in a calm, nurturing setting.
✔ Technology-Enhanced Learning
Incorporating computers and smart screens, our programs introduce technology in a fun and educational way to support early learning.
✔ Safe & Stimulating Outdoor Play Areas
Outdoor learning is a key part of our approach. Our SunSmart-certified play areas, approved by the Cancer Council, ensure children stay active and safe while developing motor and social skills.
✔ Flexible Long Day Care
Open 52 weeks a year (excluding public holidays), our long day care in Wagga Wagga supports working families with flexible hours and consistent, high-quality childcare.

Hello Families,
My name is Grace Schulz, and I am the Nominated Supervisor at Little Peoples Early Learning Centre Bourkelands.
Since 2021, I have been committed to early childhood education. Completing a school-based course led me to earn my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. Over time, I have worked with various age groups, gaining hands-on experience and leadership skills.
My role as a preschool room leader allowed me to explore child development further. That experience strengthened my passion for teaching and prepared me for a leadership role. Eventually, my dedication to early learning led me to my current position as Centre Supervisor.
To expand my knowledge, I am currently studying for a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. In the future, I plan to complete a Bachelor of Education, ensuring I continue to provide exceptional early learning experiences.
At Little Peoples Bourkelands, my focus is on:
✔ Creating a warm and supportive learning environment
✔ Providing high-quality education tailored to each child
✔ Building strong connections with families
As Centre Supervisor, I ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and engaged in their learning journey.
I look forward to welcoming you to our Bourkelands centre!
Yours truly,
Grace
