- Meeting the needs of all families and children to achieve a happy, engaging environment where children are free to play and learn
Our Program:
We plan, program and report using the National Early Years Learning Framework: Belonging, Being and Becoming.
The above Frameworks and a range of additional supporting curriculum documents are used to plan for children's learning. All staff access Professional Development relevant to the site priorities and the families and children accessing the program.
This includes:
Belonging: Children belong first to a family, a cultural group, a neighbourhood and a wider community. Belonging acknowledges children's interdependence with others and the basis of relationships in defining identities. In early childhood, and throughout life, relationships are crucial to a sense of belonging.
Being: Childhood is a time to be, to seek and make meaning of the world. Being recognises the significance of the here and now in children's life.
Becoming: Children's identities, knowledge, understandings, capacities, skills and relationships change during childhood. They are shaped by many different circumstances. Becoming reflects this process of significant change that occurs in the early years as young children learn and grow.
