Our Curriculum
Our play-based curriculum is based on the C&K approach, Listening and Learning Together. At the heart of the C&K philosophy is encouraging children to be curious and to love learning.
Our curriculum blends structured learning with play-based learning experiences. For example, if your child is building a sandcastle, the educator might encourage them to count how many buckets of sand they use or measure how high the castle is. To the child it is play, but there is a lesson inside.
Our curriculum is supported by the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG), both of which are based on the concept of learning through play.
