Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)
We celebrate the beautiful part of Australia in which we live; in the Land of Lutruwita (Tasmania). Our everyday rituals and practices are designed to promote learning and development, while our aspirations and educator culture prioritise the wellbeing and success of each child. Our program is carefully designed to connect with the 7 quality areas of the national standards, providing a comprehensive and inclusive education.
The EYLF and Montessori philosophy are woven in similar beliefs and practices.
- Connections: Emphasis on building relationships with families, children and the community
- Education: A shared focus on learning and development through play-based and intentional educator practices.
- Learning environment: Designed to promote independence, engagement, inclusivity, self-directed learning and hands on activities.
- Holistic approach: Recognising interconnectedness of physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.
- Land and nature appreciation: Nature based learning, promoting children's connection with the natural environment.
- Educator knowledge: Our participation in ongoing learning as Montessori educators, focuses on the Montessori principles.
- Our society: Connecting to our local world and the learning within in it, our place, STEAM, literacy, communication and creativity.
