What is the difference between Little Wonders and Kids Club?arrow_back
Little Wonders and Kids Club are both owned by the same provider, but they offer different approaches to early childhood education to suit varying needs. Little Wonders follows a Montessori approach, which emphasizes hands-on, self-directed learning, fostering independence and critical thinking. In contrast, Kids Club is structured around the Early Learning Framework, which provides a play-based, guided learning experience that supports developmental milestones through structured activities. Both options are excellent, as they cater to different learning styles and preferences. The best choice depends on the child's needs—Montessori may be ideal for children who thrive with independence and exploration, while the Early Learning Framework may better support those who benefit from structured guidance and group-based learning.
