Quality Educational Programs using the Early Years Learning Framework
Gumnut Childcare Centre embraces the Australian Governments National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). The EYLF describes what enhances young children’s learning from birth to five years of age. At the same time, it’s oriented on the best transition to school principles and practices. Its emphasis is set on play-based learning with prioritised attention to communication and language as well as social and emotional development.
We nurture your child’s learning journeys through their crucial years with care, encouragement and respect for who they are. We couple their journeys with EYLF curriculum activities that develop life skills and complement children’s experiences, opportunities and relationships. This philosophy enables your child to step into the wider world with curiosity, confidence and a life-long desire to learn.
