We believe in using the teaching method of listening, reflective practice, and providing a balance between child driven and educator supported learning. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As educators we will allow ourselves to be guided by your child\u2019s culture, abilities and interests. We believe that when children are encouraged to guide their own learning, their experiences are more meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n The curriculum is guided by\u00a0the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) principles of ‘Being, Belonging and Becoming’ and the National Quality Framework (NQF).<\/p>\n Children’s growth, development and learning are carefully observed and documented in their individual portfolios for parents and families.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1498982857373{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_text 0=””][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row 0=”” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1499049297599{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column 0=”” width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1499049847711{padding: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-envira” color=”white” background_style=”rounded” background_color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_background_color=”#b2d236″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”.p”]<\/p>\n This program is relevant to every child, and encourages a greater ability for learning\u00a0and exploration for each child. \u00a0As educators we believe in using a holistic approach when teaching, ensuring the environment, both indoors and outdoors,\u00a0is safe and fun. Our focus is <\/span>to balance your child\u2019s choices of indoor and outdoor physical movement. Together with your child’s involvement, this learning environment encourages them to develop an appreciation of the natural world, by exploration and discovery through experiences with plants, edible garden plants, rocks, sand and water.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1499049855614{padding: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-heart” color=”white” background_style=”rounded” background_color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_background_color=”#b2d236″ css=”.vc_custom_1499049613798{border-width: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”.p”]<\/p>\n This program is\u00a0closely linked with emotions, temperament, values, attitudes, knowledge and language skills. Social capacity develops as babies and children interact with supportive stimulating safe people in friendly places. Social skills are integral to a child\u2019s life journey. If he or she can manage personal feelings, label emotions, attempt to understand others feeling, interact positively, then\u00a0they grow strong foundations for later years.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1499049863750{padding: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-cogs” color=”white” background_style=”rounded” background_color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_background_color=”#b2d236″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”.p”]<\/p>\n This program includes building skills such as pre-reading, language, vocabulary and numeracy, which begins from the moment a child is born. The brain acquires a tremendous amount of information in the first years of life even before babies can speak. Babies and children at this age continue to advance their skills by observing and interacting with family and the world around them. They also develop an incredible ability to process, store and use this information. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1499049870742{padding: 40px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left” color=”white” background_style=”rounded” background_color=”custom” size=”lg” align=”center” custom_background_color=”#b2d236″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”.p”]<\/p>\n Is the process by which our children will be guided to understand and communicate during their time at Piccolo.
