Our Program

A strong play based learning program is developed to give children a wide range of active and meaningful experiences, building on their own strengths and interests.

Our Educational program follows the Early Years Learning Framework. This is Australia’s ﬁrst national Early Years Learning Framework for early childhood educators. The aim of this document is to extend and enrich children’s learning during their early years and through the transition to school.

We are committed to providing a developmental and educational program, which caters for each child’s individual needs, abilities and interests. Our program continues to develop as we use the relationships children have with their families and communities, working in partnership with parents, to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of our programs.

We encourage children to be responsible for their own learning through choices in experiences, interests and routine. We use conversations, actions and play as the basis for teaching which involves the children being partners in teaching by seeking out ideas, opinions, thoughts and questions. We encourage children in promoting their independence and self-help skills by assisting within the routine and involving the children in interest based projects to further enhance their learning and knowledge. We value children and family input and encourage family involvement in order to gather a comprehensive and holistic view of the child.

We know that children learn effectively through play and we have Educators who are experienced and diligent in their responsiveness to each child support this. Applying strong intentional teaching practices allows a authentic and meaningful learning environment that challenges, supports and nurtures a child’s development.

If Educators have any areas of concern, we will inform you and refer you to where help may be pursued, e.g. speech therapist. We value open, honest, and ongoing communication with families, recognising it as a vital part of each child's learning and wellbeing. Communication is a collaborative and reciprocal process, just as we share updates, observations, and learning progress with you, we welcome your insights, questions, and feedback. By working together, we build a strong, respectful partnership that supports consistency between home and our learning environment, ensuring the best outcomes for your child.

“Play is not a break from learning. It is endless, delightful, deep, engaging, practical learning - Vince Gowmon”

Fundamental to the Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by belonging, being and becoming. From before birth children are connected to family, community, culture and place. Their earliest development and learning takes place through these relationships, particularly within families, who are children’s ﬁrst and most inﬂuential educators. As children participate in everyday life, they develop interests and construct their own identities and understandings of the world.
