At Palmerston Preschool we provide a balance of rich and engaging, open-ended, play-based learning with intentional teaching that is collaborative and based on the developmental needs and interests of the children.
We use the National approved learning framework ‘The Early Years Learning Framework’ (EYLF) to guide our program. The framework has been recently updated to include further contemporary concepts and evidence-based approaches to early childhood education and care.
The Early Years Learning Framework has been developed to ensure children receive quality educational programs in their early childhood setting. The Framework's vision is for all children to experience play-based learning that is engaging, child-centred and builds success for life.
