Education

Early learning education and development ensures your child gets a head start in learning

The Camberwell Junction Early Learning Centre offers two education programs: the Early Learning and Kinder Programs. These programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) for Australia, developed by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) in consultation with the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). The framework is designed to provide young children, from birth until 8 years, with opportunities to develop a foundation for future success in learning.

Belonging, Being & Becoming

The curriculum throughout the centre is based on a collaboration of the National Early Years Learning Framework, Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the centre’s philosophy.

The aim of our curriculum is to foster the children’s development based on the five learning outcomes identified in the Victorian Framework: Identity, Community, Well Being, Learning and Communication.

To achieve these outcomes, learning takes place:

  • With a structured yet flexible program in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
  • At the child’s individual pace.
  • Both indoors and outdoors to make learning fun and dynamic.
  • By using the child’s daily routines and transitions as part of the learning platform.

Our staff works in partnership with families as we recognise that you are the first and most influential educator in your child’s life. As such, we encourage participation and involvement from parents especially via feedback and your suggestions.
