Who we are

Hi, I'm Tayla — the founder of The Little Thinkers Co., a fully qualified early childhood teacher with a passion for helping young learners grow through playful, meaningful experiences.

With years of experience in Kindergarten and early learning classrooms across Perth, I’ve seen first hand how powerful early intervention, targeted support, and joyful learning can be. That’s why I created The Little Thinkers Co., to offer personalised, high-quality literacy and numeracy support for children aged 3 to 9, right where they learn best: at home, in school, and in small group settings.

My teaching style is deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and grounded in the Early Years Learning Framework. That means every session I deliver is hands-on, play-rich, and tailored to the needs of each individual child. Whether your child is just getting ready for school, needs a little help to catch up, or is ready to be challenged, we'll meet them where they’re at and grow from there.

When I’m not teaching, I’m planning new programs, at the beach, or dreaming up the next chapter of The Little Thinkers Co., which includes future speech therapy services to support early communication and literacy development.

I’m looking to supporting your little thinker on their learning journey!

What parents are saying…

  • “What impressed me most was how personalised every session is. Tayla really took the time to understand our child’s strengths and challenges. The change in attitude and ability has been so positive."

    - Jennifer L

  • “Tayla has been such a wonderful tutor for our family. Her energy and love for teaching really shine through every session! I’m amazed at how she connects with my three kids, each so different in personality and learning style. Their confidence and schoolwork have come such a long way with her help. She’s reliable, adaptable, and always goes the extra mile — we feel so lucky to have found her!"

    - Alice H

  • “Tayla’s sessions are fun, purposeful, and perfectly pitched to my son’s level. He thinks he’s just playing—but he’s learning so much each week. We’re so thankful for her kind and thoughtful approach."

    - Rebecca M

  • “Tayla is amazing! She’s so gentle and kind with the kids, and knows exactly how to keep them engaged with the perfect mix of fun and structure. My girls bonded with her straight away and are always talking about her! She’s great at knowing when to change things up, and the hands-on, Reggio-style learning she uses has made a huge difference. The girls really get the maths concepts now—it’s not just about ticking off worksheets, they actually understand what they’re doing. We honestly can’t speak highly enough of Tayla. She’s been such a wonderful part of our girls’ learning journey.”
