Our Programs

Please have a look at our programs on display in the front foyer where you will find both the 3 and 4 year old groups.

We base our programs on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework or VEYLDF (for short).

You can visit www.education.vic.gov.au/early learning/eyldf for further information about the framework.

The teaching teams use the information provided by families along with the observations we make of the children to design everything you see in the kindergarten environment. We aim to learn as much as we can about your child and then utilise their interests. strengths and needs to ensure we meet the objectives we identify for each child and the group as a whole.

Educators reflect daily on the program and the children’s engagement to ensure we are always improving our practice.
