We recognize the concepts Belonging, Being, Becoming, which encompass the ideas in the Frameworks:
• BELONGING
We acknowledge that feelings of belonging are the basis for living a fulfilling life, therefore we aim to foster a sense of belonging within the preschool and connection with our community.
• BEING
Is about living in the here and now. Children are very good at just ‘being’ in the moment…they need time and opportunities to do this often. Children learn best when they are able to explore their ideas and interests, this helps them make meaning of the world. Being is about recognizing the importance of the present, valuing what’s happening now, not just focusing on preparation.
• BECOMING
Is about creating experiences and environments that enable children to grow and develop to their full potential, so they can become responsible and active participants in society
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum at Rye Pre-School is an emergent and play based approach where children’s interests and developmental needs are forefront to our learning program; we also believe that children’s families and the local community should influence the program; most importantly we believe that our program should be fun and offer a safe, warm and nurturing environment where families feel supported and children can thrive.
We work in line with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, which identifies five learning outcomes for children. These outcomes have a broad view of the kind of knowledge and skills all children need for them to become confident and happy through their life.
