The Curriculum
The curriculum that forms the basis for our planning and programming for the children uses the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). We aim to deliver programs that address all areas of children's development including physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development. We build on the individual strengths, experiences, interests and developmental level of each child.
At Parkdale Preschool, programs are centred on a child-initiated, play approach that encourages exploration, questioning, discovery, creativity and problem solving. Children's creativity and problem solving skills are enhanced through a variety of open-ended materials and experiences. We have a range of experiences for the children each session, including periods of self-directed free play in a prepared environment, small and whole group activities, meal times and other routines. Our programs are based on acceptance of and respect for each child, regardless of ability, gender, language, family structure or culture.
