Little Saplings Early Education Centre, NSW

Brown Falconer worked closely with Little Saplings to create a warm, nurturing early learning environment that supports children’s wellbeing, curiosity and development. Located in regional NSW, the centre draws strong inspiration from its Armidale setting, embedding a strong sense of place into the everyday learning experience.

Natural materials, soft textures and a restrained, earthy palette reference the surrounding national parks, waterfalls and gorges, while generous connections to the outdoors encourage exploration and movement. Carefully considered planning supports clear supervision, age-appropriate learning zones and flexible spaces that adapt to different activities throughout the day.

The result is a calm, uplifting learning environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to learn and grow, reflecting Brown Falconer’s expertise in creating thoughtful, engaging educational spaces.
