About Little Settlers

Little Settlers is a privately owned centre by local Bombay couple Matthew and Emma Reichenbach. It is the sister centre to the very successful Little Pioneers.

Little Settlers has 2 on-site rooms within the centre; broken down into 2 sections:

The Explorers from 0 - 2.5 years of age.
The Trailblazers from 2 - 4 years of age.

Each contain their own separate indoor / outdoor area so that there is key focus on each age group.

Our outside area is colossal and promotes imagination and creativity within your child. There are lots of areas to play, explore and investigate. We thrive on childrens interests and extend them to create investigation.
