Our new program  - Early Years Learning Framework   (EYLF)

The EYLF describes the principles, practice and outcomes essential to support and enhance young children’s learning from birth to five years, as well as their transition to school.

The framework has a strong emphasis on Play-based learning as Play is the best vehicle for young children’s learning providing the most appropriate stimulus for brain development.

The framework also recognises the importance of communication, language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social & emotional development.

This new framework, or way of understanding and working with children, is called Being, Belonging and Becoming. Eventually it will help guide everyone in Australia who works in early childhood education and care.

The EYLF sees relationships as the basis for learning. Relationships with families (the child’s first and most important teachers), community, culture and land, are all important for learning. Children are active learners too.

When they play and wonder, explore the world and come up with new ideas they are actively learning. This is why the EYLF talks about children’s lives as characterised by Belonging, Being and Becoming.
