Curriculum
The Centre is committed to following the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
Children’s play provides opportunities for children to learn, as they discover, create, improvise and imagine. Social play assists our children in developing a sense of individual and social identity. In addition, they learn to communicate and express themselves. Our educators facilitate learning through play by allowing our children to have variety of spaces to play, access a range of meaningful resources and utilise opportunities for learning in supervised uninterrupted time to play. The supervised time allows the educators to assess and reflect on our children’s journey towards further development.Please visit the government website for more information www.acecqa.gov.au
