Rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard.

Fundamental to the Early Years Learning Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by belonging, being and becoming. Their earliest development and learning takes place through relationships and connections with family, community, culture and place. As children participate in everyday life, they develop interests and construct their own identities and understandings of the world.

The major benefits for parents and children include:
