Our programs are built around the Victorian Frameworks and the Quality Framework provided by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authourity ACECQA
The program is designed to maximise your child's development intellectually, emotionally and socially following the National Early Years Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. The frameworks are used for program planning in combination with the interests and individual needs of the children.
The VEYLD Framework identifies five Outcomes which are:
-
IDENTITY
-
COMMUNITY
-
WELLBEING
-
LEARNING
-
COMMUNICATION
Using the framework we aim to ensure:
-
Children have a strong sense of identity
-
Children are connected with and contribute to their world
-
Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
-
Children are confident and involved learners
-
Children are effective communicators
