EYLF
Early Years Learning Framework (V2.0)
Australia’s nationally approved learning framework for early childhood education and care. Learning outcomes are designed around Belonging · Being · Becoming.
A foundation for
lifelong learning.
Play-based learning balanced with intentional teaching. Guided by the EYLF and enriched by Montessori-inspired practice and PreLit, our curriculum supports the whole child.
— Three frameworks
Proven methods, in the classroom.
Montessori-Inspired
Learning by hand
Hands-on materials, purposeful play, self-directed choice. Children explore and decide for themselves, growing independence.
PreLit
