The care and educational programme at Seedlings Early Learning Centre has a flexible approach within a safe, calming and predictable environment for both infant’s toddlers and young children. The programme focuses on children’s interests and offers learning experiences that are linked to the curriculum goals. These may be focused on individualised planning or group planning and may be routine and often spontaneous. The programme places importance on our partnerships with our parents and those ultimately responsible for the care and wellbeing of the child.
Opportunities are provided for children to develop their confidence, independence and exploration. It is the role of our educators to support children during this time of growth and learning.
Educators continually plan, assess and evaluate the programme to ensure the delivery of a high quality curriculum where children experience positive outcomes.
The Infants and toddlers programme ensures children have a primary caregiver who is responsible for and in tune with their individual daily needs. (You can read more about this under “Primary Caregiving”).
Young children are encouraged to share their ideas, enquire and research with the support of our educators who will use effective teaching strategies to guide and extend children.
Our environment has been purposefully developed and designed to promote interest, participation and sustained engagement. The environment has spaces of interest where learning areas are aesthetically pleasing and rich in materials and resources.
