Play-based learning guided by belonging, being and becoming.

We view the child as an independent learner. Our play-based curriculum, guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework, aims to engage, intrigue and support constructive learning.

Principles and Practice

The EYLF is underpinned by principles that guide educators in their work with children.

Belonging

Knowing where and with whom you belong is integral to human existence. It shapes who children are and who they can become.

Being

Being emphasises allowing children to be in the moment, enjoy life and discover and learn about the world around them.

Becoming

Becoming reflects the rapid and significant change that occurs in the early years as children learn and grow.

EYLF learning outcomes

The EYLF outlines five broad learning outcomes for children.

Identity
Children feel safe, secure and supported, understand and express individuality, build a positive self-concept, and develop self-worth, personal identity and belonging.
Contribution
Children develop a sense of belonging to groups and communities, respect diversity, and understand their responsibility to care for the world around them.
Wellbeing
Children are supported to be healthy, safe and well-nourished, including physical health and social and emotional wellbeing.
Confidence and Involvement
Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity.
Communication
Children engage with texts, develop literacy and numeracy skills, use information and communication technologies, and express ideas and feelings confidently.
Self-regulation and resilience
The framework promotes emotional resilience, the ability to recognise and accept challenges, and respect for the perspectives of others.

Staying connected

Part of Their Day, Even When You’re Not There

Through OWNA, families can stay connected with their child’s day at Brighter Beginnings. Educators share daily updates, important information and messages, helping you stay informed while your child is in our care.

You’ll also find centre information and seasonal menus in one convenient place, so you know what’s happening and what your child has been offered throughout the day. OWNA is also used to securely complete enrolment when your family is ready.
