Our Curriculum is Early Years Learning Framework. We plan for each day with intentional teaching activities (which have been planned from previous observations of each child) and then may move off in many different activities and experiences as the children enquire, explore, discover, make sense of their world, and lead us in different directions. 

Every day both through intentional teaching and through spontaneous activities that have evolved, our curriculum: 

• Encourages each child to make choices and participate in play, to have a sense of identity. 
• Promotes each child’s ability to develop and maintain relationships and to have a sense of well-being. 
• Promotes each child’s language and literacy abilities and ability to be an effective communicator. 
• Promotes each child’s problem-solving and mathematical abilities to be confident and involved learners. 
• Promotes each child’s enjoyment and participation in the expressive arts to be connected to and involved with the world around them.

Promotes each child’s physical abilities and awareness of making healthy choices for their own body. 

Through the implementation of such principles as: “secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships. Partnerships with families, high expectations and equity, respect for diversity and ongoing learning reflective practice”, we hope to create a culture and practice for all staff that incorporates: “Holistic approaches, responsiveness to children, learning through play, successful learning environments, cultural competence, continuity of learning and transitions and assessment for learning.”
