Early Years Learning

The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standards (NQS) inform and define our practice at SAS.

We do this by:

• Emphasising learning through intellectually rigorous play;
• Participating in, and offering, on-site, professional learning opportunities to other early childhood professionals;
• Participating in research opportunities;
• Continually reflecting, to ensure high quality early childhood education;
• Offering opportunities for parents to be involved in and develop understanding of the importance of the early years;
• Enhancing connections between the early years and the whole school community.

How we measure our success:

• Professional learning is regularly attended by all staff;
• Children and their families are willing to participate in school and community activities;
• Verification of the early years program against the NQS quality areas by Office of Early Childhood;
• Make transition documentation on each child available annually.
