Grow, Learn & Develop

At Everton Park Child Care we believe that children are confident, competent and resourceful learners and that Children have a right to an Education that will lay the foundation for the rest of their lives.

Through a play-based curriculum we provide an environment that is stimulating and challenging and allows children the opportunity to grow, learn and develop at their own pace.

Children’s interests form the basis of our curriculum which is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our Early Childhood Educators and teachers are able to scaffold children’s learning through enquiry based learning and open-ended questioning, exploration and intentional teaching.

The Early Years Learning Framework:

The Early Years Learning Framework places an emphasis on play based learning and individual development.

The 5 outcomes that guide our curriculum are:

Children have a strong sense of identity
Children are connected with and contribute to their world
Children have a strong sense of well being
Children are confident and involved learners
Children are effective communicators

Each and every child has unique pathway to achieving these five outcomes and every child will learn best when their own knowledge, interests, strengths, culture and needs are catered for. Our Educators take an holistic approach to the children’s individual learning and provide opportunities that are open ended to ensure that all abilities and interests are considered in the experiences provided each day.

The use of ‘loose parts’ has become of major importance in our program at Everton Park Child Care and Development Centre, both inside and outside as these provide children with opportunities to build, experiment and invent. Loose parts have the flexibility to be manipulated, combined, redesigned, carried around, made into patterns and used to extend upon children imagination. Children can create, hypothesise, experiment whilst building upon their skills in an environment that they feel safe and supported.
