Our Program
The aim of preschool education is to develop social,mental and physical skills in preparation for school and is the Main Year before the Child is due to attend school. Choosing the Right Program For You and Your child as your child starts to approach two years of age we are all faced with the challenging decision of where to enrol them for that all important Preschool year. School Readiness has become increasingly important as educational expectations continue to rise.
We emphasis on developing three domains:
- Cognitive Domain: Brain related activities, sharpens analytical skills.
- Affective domain: Heart related activities, develops soft skills.
- Psycho Motor Domain: Relates to overall development of the child which includes all parts of the body.
It is our belief that a comprehensive and holistic Preschool Program is an essential part of a child’s learning journey and transition to school.
We are guided by the Australian EYLF,Early Years Learning Framework which is structured around in three interrelated elements:
- * Principles;
- * Practises; and
- * Learning Outcomes
Five Learning Outcomes are identified as fundamental to the current and future wellbeing, engagement and success of young Learners:
- 1. Children have strong sense of identity;
- 2. Children have a strong sense of wellbeing;
- 3. Children are connected with and contribute to their world;
- 4. Children are confident and involved Learners;and
- 5. Children are effective Communicators.
At the core of our Program is the curriculum,based on the Australian curriculum, recognising the entitlement of each student to knowledge,understanding and skills that provides a foundation for a successful and lifelong learning and participation in the Community ; it has four major components:
- * Curriculum content-learning area knowledge, skills and understanding;
- * General Capabilities - sets of skills,behavioursand dispositions;
- * Cross Curriculum Priorities - representing key issues and opportunities relevant to the lives of young children now and in the future ;and
- * Achievement Standards – description of what students are typically able to understand and do at particular points in their schooling .
- * This provides the framework around which all of our learning activities are structured.These activities are delivered by fully qualified teachers and educators using specific learning contexts that are designed to maximise learning outcomes.
- * We put a little magic in our kids lives- By adding Karate, Phonics, Kids Yoga, Chess and Music.
