Educators use the national Early Years Learning Framework to guide the learning and development of children from birth to 5 years of age.
A range of early childhood settings, including family day care, child care centres, preschools and integrated centres use the framework to design play-based programs that encourage children's:
- communication
- discovery
- imagination
- creativity.
This approach to early learning aims to help your child develop:
- a strong sense of identity
- connections with their world
- a strong sense of wellbeing
- confidence and involvement in their learning
- effective communication skills.
