Our centre uses the EYLF and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines. Children are learning to:

• See themselves as competent learners through investigating, researching, experimenting
  

• Become part of a community of learners, learning to share, collaborate, co-operate and respect their friends

• Take part in learning projects evolving from their interests and ideas

• Express themselves through creative arts, music, visual arts, drama and dance
  

• Communicate through speaking, listening, using symbols, text and print

• Think scientifically and mathematically through play based investigations.
