"When parents understand the ‘why,’ every interaction becomes more meaningful."

About Little Launchpad
Meet Ann Burnett, Founder of Little Launchpad
Hello, I’m Ann — founder of Little Launchpad, primary teacher with over 20 years' experience, a mum of two and a graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Care and Education. After working across Early Years and Primary classrooms for two decades, I stepped away from my permanent teaching role to follow a lifelong passion: empowering parents during the most crucial years of a child’s life.
Why Little Launchpad
The first five years matter more than we often realise. In this short window, a child’s brain forms over a million connections every second. By age five, 90% of the brain is already developed. These years shape everything from learning and behaviour to emotional wellbeing and future potential.
Yet, many parents feel overwhelmed or unsure of what really matters. That’s where Little Launchpad comes in.
What We Offer
Little Launchpad transforms trusted research and teaching experience into a 3-block series of engaging, age-specific webinars for parents of children aged 0–5 years. These sessions are practical, easy to follow, and designed to give you confidence in the everyday moments that matter most.
Our Mission
To help parents understand the why behind their child’s development — so they can support their learning, nurture emotional growth, and prepare them for school with confidence.
