Our Village
The Little Environeers is a unique long day care facility carefully constructed to allow for immersive environments with an excellent community and village feel. We strive to get more children outdoors where learning is authentic, life skills based, calming and provides endless opportunities. We pride ourselves on our holistic approach: connecting mind, body and spirit through our learning experiences.
You can find our Village located at 51-55 Greensborough Road, Macleod, Victoria.
Meet Tamieka
Little Environeers was founded by Tamieka, a mum, educator, changemaker and passionate environeer. Tamieka believes that Early Childhood services are loosing touch with the benefits of true nature play and taking children away from the natural environment where they learn best. Tamieka believes in bringing traditional childhoods back and strives to get more children outdoors.

Kinder
Our Kinder program has a heavy focus on outdoor learning, nurturing essential skills in literacy, numeracy, social interactions and emotional intelligence, that supports and builds a solid foundation for a seamless transition to school. School Readiness to us, means that your child will be well equipped to self regulate, take care of their belongings and have the confidence to participate in group settings with the right support.
Long Day Care
Our service is open from 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, which means that families enrolling in the full day session are able to utilise up to 11 hours of care. Our programs are led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers who tailor their program to ensure your child’s unique strengths and interests are met, to foster a desire for lifelong learning.

Little Environeers knows the importance of community connections and provides a safe space for families who may not yet be ready for care to gather. We welcome you to join us in one of our designated yards and family room for a 45 min playgroup session on Mondays and Fridays.
