Welcome to Little Handprints
At Little Handprints Woolooware, we believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, connection and joy.
Our boutique early learning centre provides a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe to explore, build confidence and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Located in the heart of Woolooware, just minutes from Cronulla's beautiful beaches, our centre offers high-quality early education and care for up to 29 children each day. Our smaller size allows us to build genuine relationships with every child and family, creating a close-knit community where everyone feels known, valued and supported.
Providing Quality Care
At Little Handprints Woolooware, quality care is at the heart of everything we do. We provide a safe, welcoming environment where children feel valued, supported and encouraged to learn through play.
Our experienced educators build genuine relationships with children and families, taking the time to understand each child's unique personality, interests and developmental needs. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standard (NQS), our play-based program supports children's learning, wellbeing and confidence at every stage.
Quality care extends beyond the classroom. From nutritious meals and engaging learning environments to strong health and safety practices and open communication with families, every part of our day is designed to help children feel secure and supported.
As an Exceeding National Quality Standard service, we are committed to continuous improvement, ensuring every child receives the highest standard of education and care in a nurturing environment where they can grow with confidence.
Little Handprints is proudly committed to being a Child Safe Organisation, where every child’s safety, well-being, voice and rights are respected, protected and at the heart of everything we do.
Caring for every stage of childhood
At Little Handprints Woolooware, every stage of childhood is celebrated. Our thoughtfully designed learning environments support children as they grow, offering nurturing care, meaningful relationships and engaging experiences that build confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
Each room has its own unique identity, inspired by the local Dharawal language and the natural world around us.
Bimbala Room
INFANTS 0 - 2 years
Bimbala, meaning shellfish, reflects the gentle beginnings of life's journey. Just as shellfish are nurtured and protected by the sea, our youngest children are surrounded by warmth, security and loving relationships.
Bilima Room
TODDLER 2 - 3 years
Bilima, meaning turtle, symbolises resilience, curiosity and steady growth. Like the turtle, toddlers are becoming more confident explorers, discovering their world one step at a time.
Buri Buri Room
PRESCHOOL 3 - 5 years
Buri Buri, meaning humpback whale, symbolises strength, wisdom and growth. Like migrating whales, preschool children are growing in confidence as they prepare for school and beyond.
Growing Together
Throughout every stage of childhood, our educators build genuine relationships with children and families, creating a consistent and nurturing environment where every child feels they belong.
Guided by our values of Nurture • Connect • Grow, we celebrate each milestone, encourage every curiosity and support children to become confident, compassionate and lifelong learners.

Learning through nature…
We believe some of the best learning happens outdoors. Our natural play spaces encourage children to explore, imagine, create and discover through hands-on experiences that build confidence, resilience and curiosity.
From gardening and nature play to muddy puddles and outdoor adventures, children are encouraged to connect with the world around them in every season. Inspired by the beautiful Sutherland Shire and guided by respect for the Dharawal People, we foster a lifelong appreciation for nature, community and caring for the environment.
At Little Handprints Woolooware, the outdoors is more than a playground - it's an extension of our classroom, where children are free to learn, grow and explore.
We believe the early years is a time to be, to belong and to become, with each child supported to feel secure, valued, and capable through nurturing, connection and the opportunity to grow.
