Curriculum
The Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines informs the development of our Kindergarten programs for 3 to 5 year olds.
The Kindergarten recognises the value and richness of play as a stimulus for children’s learning and their ongoing engagement in meaningful experiences. As children play they approach new and revisited experiences with interest, ownership, empowerment and possibility. Educators create ‘Play Plans’ on a daily basis with the children to document and encourage their personal and group interests.
