Early Years Learning Framework

Early Years Learning Framework

In order to ensure each child receives a high quality and inclusive educational program, our educators and teachers plan and program for each individual age group using the early years learning framework.

The Early Years Learning Framework is a National Early Learning Framework for children from birth to eight years. As the early years are a vital time for children to learn and develop, the framework has been developed to ensure your child receives a quality educational program.

Educators will use the framework in partnership with families to develop learning programs responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities and recognise that children learn through play.

The Early Years Learning Framework describes childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming.

  • Belonging is the basis for living a fulfilling life. Children feel they belong because of the relationship they have with their family, community, culture and place.
  • Being is about living here and now. Childhood is a special time in life and children need time to just ‘be’ – time to play, try new things and have fun.
  • Becoming is about the learning and development that young children experience. Children start to form their sense of identity from an early age, which shapes the type of adult they will become.

Through the Framework’s five learning goals educators will assist your child to develop:

  • A strong sense of identity
  • Connections with their world
  • A strong sense of wellbeing
  • Confidence and involvement in their learning; and
  • Effective communication skills

The framework has a strong emphasis on play-based learning, as play is the best vehicle for young children’s learning, providing the most appropriate stimulus for brain development. At Bimbi we aim to guide your child in becoming an effective learner through creating an environment that is challenging and stimulating. The overall aim of our program is to help your child in developing all areas necessary for success now and in later years.
