Curriculum Programming and Documentation

The Early Years Learning Framework (known as the EYLF) is the national early learning curriculum framework for all children aged 0-5
years. The curriculum at Hunters Hill Preschool comes from The EYLF, our knowledge on the way children develop and your child’s interests
and strengths.

The EYLF sees early childhood as a time of:
  • Belonging – children feel they belong because of the relationships they have with their family, community, culture and place.
  • Being – childhood is a special time in life and children need time to just “be” –time to play, try new things and have fun.
  • Becoming – young children learn and develop from an early age which shapes the type of adult they will become.
There are five learning outcomes in the EYLF. They are:
  • A strong sense of their identity;
  • Connection + contribution to their world;
  • A strong sense of wellbeing;
  • Confidence and involvement in their learning; and
  • Effective communication skills.
We will communicate with you about your child’s program and learning using the EYLF in:
  • Documentation of children’s learning, which will be emailed to you regularly.
  • Documentation displays on class room walls.
  • Summative assessment of your child’s learning that all families receive once a year followed by a parent/teacher interview; and
  • Transition to School Or Learning and Development Statements (where applicable) will be sent home in term 4.
