Our Story

Created by a Mum who gets it.

Hi, I'm Brie - a mum, primary school teacher and the founder of Little Big School.

After years teaching in the classroom and working in the early years sector, I founded Little Big School in 2024 to bring together everything I'd learned into playful, child-centred experiences that support both children and the grown-ups raising them.

What began as a holistic school readiness program in Perth has since grown into our At Home Kits and Bookish Play Packs, helping families across Australia make learning through play simple, meaningful and fun.

Because while I've always believed children learn best through play, I also know how hard it can be to come up with engaging, age-appropriate activities when life is already busy.

That's why I teamed up with a Paediatric Occupational Therapist and Speech Pathologist to create thoughtfully designed kits that take the guesswork out of learning through play - giving parents the confidence to support their child's development without adding more to their already full plate.

At the heart of everything we create is one simple goal: helping families spend less time planning and more time learning, playing and connecting together.

And when I'm not creating new play adventures, you'll usually find me soaking up time with my daughter Pippa, chasing after our golden retriever Macey, planning our next family holiday or enjoying an Aperol Spritz (or chilli marg!) with friends.
