Indigenous Perspectives
Our Indigenous Perspectives Program educates children about the rich cultures, histories, and ongoing contributions of First Nations peoples. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn and play, and we embed opportunities for children to develop respect, understanding, and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
We believe that introducing children to inclusive practices and Australian history from an early age helps build the foundations of a respectful, connected, and culturally aware community. Through stories, language, art, music, and shared experiences, children learn to value the knowledge, traditions, and perspectives of the world’s oldest continuous cultures.
By fostering curiosity, empathy, and a sense of responsibility for Country, we support children to grow into future community members who honour diversity, care for the land, and celebrate the strength and resilience of First Nations peoples.
Benefits:
Sense of Belonging – Children develop a deeper understanding of their own sense of belonging and recognise the importance of belonging for their peers. This helps create a learning environment where every child feels valued, included, and connected.
Fostering Positive Social Relationships – Engaging with Indigenous stories, perspectives, and shared experiences encourages open, respectful, and positive social interactions. Children learn to listen, collaborate, and appreciate the viewpoints of others.
Acceptance & Understanding – Inclusive practices help children understand the importance of fairness, equity, and providing equal opportunities for everyone. These early foundations support lifelong attitudes of respect, empathy, and social responsibility.
Respect for Country – Children learn to acknowledge and care for the land on which they learn and play. Through age-appropriate experiences, they develop an appreciation for Country, sustainability, and the cultural significance of caring for the environment.
Cultural Awareness – Exposure to First Nations languages, art, music, and storytelling helps children build awareness of Australia’s rich cultural heritage. This understanding supports pride in diversity and encourages children to celebrate the histories and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Happy Parents
I will be honest, I was a little worried at first (What new mum isn’t?) when your choosing a whole new Daycare for your child? I looked at many different daycares and 1000’s of good and bad reviews, I checked over many area’s close by to where I moved to and couldn’t find one perfect for us. Just when I thought to myself I’ll have to drive half an hour there and back to my old daycare I drive down Woolworths and see Scribbles and Giggles. They are only literally a 2 minute drive from my house and someone who works from home it is perfect.
The management are amazing, always kid and welcoming, they say hi to my son and I. I have never felt so welcomed. The onboarding was so easy and no stress at all. My son is taking it a day at a time but he does love it there and it shows.
Thank you Scribbles and Giggles for showing me that change isn’t scary. And for always being so helpful.
The ladies there and the teachers are all so welcoming. Could not ask for better.
Thank you to the Team at Scribbles and Giggles <3
I cannot speak highly enough about Scribbles & Giggles Granville. My son Elijah started here 5 weeks ago after changing from 4 other childcare centres, and the difference has been incredible. For the first time, I have seen him truly happy, comfortable, and like he has found a place where he belongs.
The educators are absolutely amazing. They create such a warm, home-like environment where not only the children, but the families, feel welcomed and supported. They don’t just care for the children — they genuinely nurture them with love, patience, and kindness. You can see that they truly care about each child as an individual, and that means so much as a parent.
The centre feels like a second home. The educators take the time to build relationships, understand each child’s needs, and make them feel safe and valued. It’s such a beautiful feeling leaving your child somewhere knowing they are surrounded by people who care.
A special mention to the Centre Manager, Mr Singh, who goes above and beyond every day. His dedication and involvement are clear from the moment you arrive. You can literally hear the children calling out his name from the yard while you’re parking in the car park — that alone shows the connection he has built with them. He is not just a manager behind a desk; he is present, involved, and genuinely part of the children’s day-to-day experience.
Thank you to the whole team at Scribbles & Giggles Granville for creating such a loving, safe, and welcoming environment. You have made such a positive impact on Elijah, and I’m so grateful we found this centre.
The girls have gone above and beyond for my special boy, Roman. They have made us both feel so welcome, loved and non – judged.
My boy doesn’t cry anymore at drop offs, he runs into the centre with the biggest smile on his face and it honestly keeps my heart at ease knowing he’s happy. We’ve had our issues at centres previously before where I’ve felt my son was judged. But I’m so content with the way Scribbles & Giggles have attended to both mine and my boy’s needs.
All I’ve wanted is for my Son to be accepted and they do just that and so much more. They absolutely adore him and it definitely shows! Couldn’t be anymore happier.🩵
Scribbles and giggles is such a loving and nurturing centre, all the educators have smiling and happy faces when we walk in which makes us feel so welcomed. The children have so many great things to do throughout the day, from being outside to indoor play and making great memories. Couldn’t be happier with the decision to enrol my children into this centre!
Absolutely fantastic. The staff are so welcoming, and my child has thrived so amazingly. It’s always a pleasure walking in being greeted with such positivity every day. Thank you Scribbles we will miss you next year ❤️🙌🏼
A huge respect for the educators and workers in scribbles and giggles daycare! I’ve had no issues since sending my son here and communication is great. Big outdoor space for the kids to play and clean classrooms. Really happy with the staff and the activities you provide for the kids. My Son has adapted really well and I am grateful!
My son graduated last year and being a young boy with special needs scribbles and giggles went above and beyond to accommodate his needs which I was really thankful for.
The school Has a loving caring energy the staff members have become family with their endless need to keep everyone happy and looked after
My 2 year old is still currently attending and loving it. Alicia and Christina are such a delight and I love having them part of my childcare experience.
The food they serve is great my kids never complain, the staff were always responding to every concern I’ve had about my children and fixing it immediately to make sure me and my children were happy I really love this preschool.
Having 3 kids attending Scribbles & Giggles this place has been very accommodating to my kids, I’ve been attending this center for the past 5 years the educators are warm, friendly and caring, my kids love coming to class everyday they get spoilt by the staff on a daily basis.
Christine & Alicia do a great job in running the center making sure everyone has a positive experience.
Would definitely recommend Scribbles & Giggles to growing families!
Amazing educators who have helped my children settle very quickly! My daughter who was struggling socially to make friends now has a classroom of friends who are always happy to see her in the mornings! The programs are so much fun and very educational and suitable for their age. Miss Amita is an amazing educator who suits the room so much! Well done to all!
Outstanding childcare! The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, creating a safe and welcoming environment for children. Their education programs are exceptional, providing the perfect foundation to prepare little ones for school. The educators are warm, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to ensure each child feels included and engaged. As someone trained in early childhood, I highly recommend for any family looking for quality early education!
Highly recommend!
My child has Down’s syndrome and Alicia and Christine went above and beyond to accommodate, they are rated the best for inclusion support and have an amazing preschool program. My son is absolutely thriving and learning so much!
Scribbles and Giggles at Leppington has been a wonderful experience for my child. The management and the teachers are very caring, attentive, and creates a safe, fun environment where kids can learn and grow. I’m always confident my child is in great hands!
Both of children has been going to Scribbles last 2years. And from my experience they are very welcoming and very friendly and caring. Most of the team members are always going above and beyond their job. Ms Shaheen and Ms Christine is excellent and I’m so grateful for their service. I can rely on them and know that my children are being looked after. Can’t thank them enough.
A big thank you to Christina for welcoming us today, and for giving us a grand tour of the facility. Thank you for making our son Mohamed feel so comfortable while showing him around all the fun things to do at the centre. We appreciate your input and recommendations as to what class would best suit his personality.
Even though it was a crazy Monday, you did not rush us through and took your time with every process with a smile and bubbly personality. Thanks again, and you are the reason we signed our precious right away.
My son is in the process of getting assessed staff and management have been supportive and very accommodating to both my son and my needs during this process. The staff are helpful and are always wearing a smile.managment are very welcoming.my son has benefited so much with his education and preparing for school.i am happy with all aspects of this service and my son seems happy!
This review is for all the staff at Rydalmere who support my daughter continuously.
Mariam, Hanady and my daughters room educators have been amazingly supportive with changes these past few weeks. Poonam, Sarad, Komal, Sabbu, Sabiha and Soumi are all attentive and patient with her regressions / transitioning.
Every morning we are always greeted with good spirits from Samuel, Shreya, Rama and Kiran which makes my daughter feel special. As a mum of a 4 yr old girl who’s Autistic, non verbal and has GDD I am constantly anxious however the updates/genuine support does help with her overall development.
Thank you for the inclusion to accommodate my daughters needs especially these past few weeks with my personal circumstances.
Both my sons have attended (one is still attending) Scribbles and Giggles Leppington and have a wonderful connection to the centre and their carers.
I was so worried about having to go back to work when Karim was 6 months but all the carers, past and present made that transition for me so much easier. Now Karim is over 2 years old and he is thriving. Drop offs are generally a breeze with his carers comforting him and cuddling him as I leave for the day. We can see how happy and engaged he is throughout the day with the carefully planned activities and his joyful little face at pick up time. His funny little personality is something both the carers and I bond/laugh over and it is reassuring to see how well they know him. I feel I cannot take credit for the praise he gets when it comes to eating or understanding/following rules at home as I know this is due to the consistent and considered routine fostered at Scribbles and Giggles by his carers.
Sorry for the long message but I really do appreciate all you do for Karim and our family.
