Little Sophia is an independent, not-for-profit, inner-city Steiner kindergarten based in Abbotsford, Melbourne. We aim to provide a nurturing early childhood environment that nourishes the whole child and fosters imaginative play as a foundation for lifelong learning. Special care is given to create a playspace that is beautiful, unhurried and secure.
Our kindergarten is a warm, protective space stimulated by creative play, storytelling, singing, baking, paints and colour. Children at Little Sophia are surrounded by caring people and treasures from nature, to help develop an appreciation, respect and care for our world.
Little Sophia runs family Playgroups for children from birth to 3.5 years of age and kindergarten programs within a long daycare setting, with high staff-child ratios, for children 3 to 6 years of age.
