At Village Early Learning, our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Western Australian Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines, providing a foundation for meaningful learning experiences that support children’s development, wellbeing and confidence.
The EYLF is Australia’s national framework for early childhood education. It guides educators to create intentional, play-based experiences that support children’s growth, rather than simply keeping children busy.
We recognise every child as a capable and active learner, creating environments where they feel supported to explore, discover and grow.
The EYLF is centred around three ideas that reflect how children learn and develop in their early years.
Children learn and grow when they feel connected to the people and places around them. At Village, this means children build trusting relationships with educators and friends, develop confidence in who they are, and feel a strong sense of belonging within their community.
Childhood is a time for exploring, discovering and enjoying the world around them. Through play and everyday experiences, children develop curiosity, independence and confidence while learning at their own pace.
Every experience helps children develop the skills they need for the future. Children build communication, problem-solving and social skills that support their transition to school and their ongoing learning journey.
The EYLF focuses on five key learning outcomes that guide the experiences children take part in each day.
Children develop confidence, independence and positive relationships as they learn about themselves, their abilities and the people around them.
Children learn to collaborate, respect others, appreciate diversity and understand how they can contribute to their community.
Children develop emotional resilience, physical confidence and healthy habits through supportive relationships, routines and active experiences.
Children become curious, creative learners who explore ideas, solve problems and develop the confidence to try new things.
Children strengthen their language and communication skills by sharing ideas, expressing themselves and connecting with others.
