Lunch and Languages Program
We recognise that the earlier a child is exposed to another language, the more naturally and confidently they learn. Young children have remarkable mental agility, allowing them to mimic sounds, absorb new vocabulary, and retain knowledge with ease. Our Lunch and Languages Program embraces this developmental window by introducing children to additional languages in a playful, meaningful, and socially engaging way.
This program also honours the incredible strength of each family’s home language. We encourage families to share and celebrate their linguistic heritage, recognising that a strong foundation in a child’s first language supports their identity, strengthens relationships, and enhances their ability to learn additional languages over time.
By weaving language learning into an everyday meal time routine, we create an environment where children feel confident, curious, and connected. The Lunch and Languages Program not only builds communication skills but also fosters cultural awareness, belonging, and a love of learning.
Benefits:
Language Acquisition – Introducing new vocabulary and phrases during mealtimes helps children make natural, meaningful connections between language and daily routines. This repetition supports memory, pronunciation, and early bilingual or multilingual development.
Cultural Awareness – Sharing words, songs, and greetings from different languages during lunch encourages children to appreciate cultural diversity. These experiences help children understand that languages carry stories, traditions, and identities.
Social Connection – Mealtimes provide a relaxed, social environment where children can practise language with peers and educators. This encourages turn-taking, conversation skills, and confidence in communicating with others.
Home Language Strengthening – Families are encouraged to share words and phrases from their home language, reinforcing children’s sense of identity and belonging. A strong foundation in a child’s first language supports overall communication development and enhances their ability to learn additional languages.
Positive Mealtime Routines – Embedding language learning into lunch supports calm, enjoyable mealtime habits. Children learn to listen, respond, follow simple instructions, and engage in meaningful conversations, all while developing independence and confidence during daily routines.

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.
