Wombats (0-3 years old)
Planning for babies and toddlers occurs through relationship-based experiences and interactions. The emphasis is to promote and maintain a secure attachment between a child and their primary caregiver then with the wider environment. Relationship-based programming recognises that children need to feel safe and secure in a predictable and responsive environment. Programs take into consideration a child's emerging sense of autonomy, identity and belonging and opportunities to experience interaction and socialization.
Pandas (3-5 years old) (preschoolers)
Staff and families work in partnership to offer children experiences that are relevant and challenging. Various methods are used to achieve a programming cycle of noticing a child's interests and then plan to offer children opportunities to extend or repeat their learning and revisit past experiences. We acknowledge the importance of art as a medium for learning, concentration and creativity. These experiences however revolve around the children's secure attachment and patterns of relationship with those in their environment, and their primary caregiver's ability to be emotionally available to children as individuals.
