All Learning Outcomes under the Early Years Learning Framework will be addressed through our Policy and practices.
Educators aim to create positive learning environments and guide experiences for each child in conjunction with their family. Educators will observe children and facilitate their learning to provide each child with an individualised portfolio by documenting their learning throughout the year. Children and their families will be encouraged to participate in the ongoing process to promote engaged learning.
Our Educational Leader is Teresa Mexon
The role of the educational leader is to work with educators to provide curriculum direction and to ensure children achieve the outcomes of the approved learning framework.
Our service is committed to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
Observations of all children enrolled in our service will be documented and kept for future reference and reflection, through use of portfolios.
Children’s portfolios will be available for a child’s family members to look at but remains the property of the Service for the duration of the child’s enrolment. Portfolios will be added to regularly by educators, families and children and reflected upon by educators to ensure programming for each child remains relevant to their interests and developmental stage.
Early Years Learning Framework
Learning and Play
These activities will be supervised and guided by educators to find out how each child responds as an individual and also as part of a group. Educators will work in conjunction with families to provide learning experiences that are relevant to each child and tailored to their specific needs.
A child’s home language, culture and religious practices will be accepted and included in the program.
From this, educators will assess the child’s needs and plan ways to meet these needs. We evaluate this program daily in order to make sure we stay on target and help each child to reach their full potential.
The daily program will be displayed in the room in a prominent position for parents and visitors to view at any time.
We welcome any suggestions and are happy to answer questions from family members at any time.
