All of our programs and curriculum are based on the Early Years Learning Framework and Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines as well as the National Quality Standards which has been implemented Australia wide in all early childhood and care settings.

These three initiatives provide a framework of principles, practices, and outcomes for teachers to build the Kindergarten program. Our school recognises the importance of Kindergarten as a critically important starting point for effective literacy and numeracy teaching and learning.

We have a strong emphasis on purposeful play-based learning because this is the most appropriate stimulus for early brain development. It also acknowledges a child’s social and emotional development.

We actively promote children’s learning through worthwhile and challenging experiences and interactions that foster high-level thinking skills. We use strategies such as modeling and demonstrating, open questioning, speculating, explaining, engaging in shared thinking and problem solving to extend children’s thinking and learning.
