Little Learners is a unique and exciting mark making class devised by a qualified teacher. It is designed for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to learn to write through play. Its aim is to develop children’s pre-writing motor skills, as well as their physical development (taking full account of EYFS guidance).

Physical development and mark making are vital skills to obtain in order for children to begin to grip objects, hold a pencil and eventually write. Little Learners classes help to prepare little ones for nursery and school by strengthening gross and fine motor skills, core strength and coordination.

Key benefits for the Little Learners franchisee include:

  • Flexible, family-friendly working hours. You choose when you work and how many classes you run
    Start-up package including equipment, marketing materials and uniform
  • Extensive, exclusive territory in which to operate
    Online training and ongoing support from head office and current Little Learners Franchisees – we are a close and supportive group!
  • Low overheads

Parent Testimonials

Find out what people say, don’t take our word for it!

I’ve been a Little Learners Franchisee for just over a year now and can honestly say it’s been the best year of my working life! After 21 years of teaching I needed a change and a job that would give me more time with my family. Little Learners has given me this and so much more! I thoroughly enjoy working for myself, choosing my hours to fit around the school run etc. What I didn’t expect was to be part of such as amazing and supportive team who are there with you every step of the way! To say Little Learners has changed our lives, as a family, would be an understatement. I only wish I’d done it sooner!
