The learning experience for children from 2 to 5 years is considered one of the most vital. Children are learning all the time and for them ‘playing’ is learning. Our Preschool Program curriculum is designed to ensure that children in all early childhood education and care settings receive quality teaching to achieve required learning outcomes. At the very heart of the Early Years Learning
Framework is the view that early childhood is a time when exploring notions of “being”, “belonging” and “becoming” are essential to the development of identity, cognitive reasoning and wellbeing.
In the context of School Readiness, the curriculum creates the framework around which all of the interactions, activities and experiences, both planned and unplanned occur. This ensures that your child is fully prepared in every way possible to transition effectively to the new set of learning objectives in the school environment.
