Curriculum
Our curriculum encompasses all of the interactions, experiences and routines that are part of each child’s day. We use an integrated approach to learning rather than a more subject-oriented curriculum. The curriculum is based on the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability, (SACSA), Framework. If you would like to know more about our teaching resources, please see the staff. We continually update professional educator practices.
We believe that children learn best through being in control of their own learning environment. Children who attend this service:
- have the freedom to manage their own time
- have opportunities to interact with people who value the quality of play
- have time for uninterrupted and self-selected activities
- have time to be active, curious, quiet and reflective
We believe that appropriately guided play ensures that individual children will progress from their current state of knowledge and skills. We value the process of play rather than the end product. There is the opportunity for repetition to refine skills as well as scope for risk taking and the challenge of new activities. Staff guide and extend the children’s thinking, by encouraging them to consider alternatives and review their actions. Staff extend skills and development and respond sensitively to children’s needs and initiatives. We facilitate the development of play. We also plan for smaller group times where the children participate in language and literature, music, movement, science, numeracy, drama and environmental study groups.
