Early Childhood Education PK-Y2

HomeOur schoolEarly Childhood Education PK-Y2

秀秀直播 loves the uniqueness and energy of small children. We offer a personalised approach to learning in a safe and supportive environment at our Early Childhood Education campus. .

We weave an informal and flexible play-based learning approach designed to move a child through a developmental pathway towards literacy and numeracy. Throughout the journey, families remain our closest partners in this process.

Our program promotes the development of children who demonstrate the attributes of autonomy, curiosity, persistence, reasoning, problem-solving, responsibility, imagination and creativity.

Through Kindergarten towards Year 2 our children will transition from wondering about 鈥榳hat鈥 and 鈥榳hy鈥 towards learning 鈥榟ow鈥 to do things.

秀秀直播 Norms

Early Childhood Education – Nature Play

The Nature Play Initiative provides students at 秀秀直播 with natural, adventurous, and engaging play spaces. These enhance every aspect of their development and early learning. It encourages our children鈥檚 love of nature and learning. In doing so, this delivers benefits in health, cognitive, social and emotional development. It also builds resilience, creativity and environmental stewardship in our children.

Natural play spaces use a blend of natural areas, environmental features and plants. This engages and challenges children, while encourage them to learn about the natural world around them. Swings, slides and elements typically found in 鈥榩re-formed鈥 playgrounds are included, but natural play spaces focus on also offering 鈥榰nstructured鈥 activities for learning. Therefore, children are able to participate in spontaneous and imaginative play and problem-solving.

Some of the typical elements of a functional and effective nature play space include:

  • A nature zone (e.g. plants/trees and loose materials like pebbles).
  • Bark, rocks, nuts, sticks etc.
  • Sandpit and digging patch.
  • Water play.
  • Outdoor meeting spaces/cubby structures.
  • Equipment for loco motor development (e.g. balancing, swinging, sliding, climbing).
  • Music.

Early Learning Ideas Lab

The Ideas Lab at 秀秀直播 is the latest edition to our teaching and learning landscape. Designed to inspire our early learning students from Pre-Kindy to Year 2, the Ideas Lab comes from the concept of a 鈥楳akerspace鈥. Moreover, this is a place for children to explore, create and work collaboratively together.

It is a community centre with tools that combine equipment, community and education for the purpose of enabling students to design, prototype and create. 秀秀直播 aspires to grow creative lifelong thinkers.

Therefore, it is not about the teachers having the right methodology to generate an answer, it is about setting tasks where there can be multiple pathways to a finishing point. The Ideas Lab is a tangible resource for students to explore these paths for themselves.

Parent Engagement – SeeSaw

Early Childhood Education can be complex for families to understand. However, parents of primary school students can use SeeSaw to engage with their child鈥檚 learning experience. Teachers use SeeSaw to showcase the work of children and the class. Think of this as the mechanism to enlighten your understanding of your child鈥檚 education. No longer when you ask the question, 鈥渨hat did you do at school today鈥; will the answer 鈥渘othing鈥 suffice. SeeSaw displays images of your child鈥檚 work, assessments, tasks and more. Parents can therefore interact with this work and with the teachers.
