The Curriculum
At Apex Pre-School we aim to provide a nurturing environment and a range of social and educational experiences for the children that encourage, enhance and stimulate interest in the world around them. Pre-School children benefit most from long periods of uninterrupted play that is a mixture of structured and unstructured play. Play is not an idle activity; it is the way young children learn. Play makes a major contribution to the Identity, Wellbeing, Learning, Communication and Community development of your child. Our curriculum is supported by the Victorian Early Years Learning Developmental Framework and governed by the National Quality Regulations, Act and the National Quality Framework. Planning for the group of children is one of the teacher’s main tasks. The curriculum is planned to meet the children’s needs and interests. Families and children are encouraged to have input into the planning of the curriculum (VEYLDF & NQS). At Pre-School, the children are free to select where they will play, but limits are set on behaviour. The teacher is aware of each child and what he/she is doing. Our learning outcomes are governed by The Early Years Learning and Development Framework.
