Education at Kids College

We value our special times together and we compile a portfolio of each child’s learning journey. Each child’s Portfolio incorporates information on their learning journey, photographs, observations and special times. Our purpose with this is to highlight and celebrate your child’s strengths, interests and achievements during their time with us.

With each child we observe their interests, needs and strengths and from this information we develop activities to enhance that child’s learning and enjoyment with us. This is all incorporated into our Education focus for the month programme. In our Observe, plan, implement and feedback cycle, we create a programme full of fun and learning for our Kids College children.

All children experience their learning journey at a different pace. The aim of our learning here is not to accelerate their progression through the stages but to enhance learning at each stage and enjoy some special moments together.

EARLY YEARS LEARNING FRAMWORK

In December 2007, the council of Australian governments agreed to a partnership between all states to create a national approach to Early Childhood Education. They developed a National Quality Framework for Australia of which Belonging, Being, Becoming: Early Years Learning Framework for Australia is a key component.

The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) describes the principles, practices and outcomes that support and enhance young childrens learning from birth to five years of age, as well as their transition to school. All Western Australian Kindergartens begin the implementation of this new Curriculum as of 2012. At Kids College we have been working within the EYLF guidelines and are constantly improving our systems to embed the EYLF principles throughout our early childhood educational programmes.

Belonging, Being and Becoming

Belonging, Being and Becoming are integral parts of identity. Children learn about themselves and construct their own identity within the contexts of their family and communities. This includes their relationships with people, places and things and the actions and responses of others. Identity is shaped by experiences.Children will experience a sense of belonging when they know where and with whom they belong. We work to create a Kids College family culture where everyone is valued and respected. Please see our community board for more information and examples as to how we achieve these goals.

Children experience a sense of being in the here and now in children’s lives. We value and celebrate their achievements with our Statement of achievement reports which are in the children?s individual portfolios.Children will also experience a sense of becoming in the process of repaid change that occurs in the early years with growing up and working through the developmental levels. Children at Kids College are guided through development gently with respect to the phase they are in.

Our Rooms

What will my child learn?

Your child will be involved in a learning programme based around the 5 principles of EYLF.

Learning will be embedded within the programme through activities and learning environments. Some activities are child initiated and follow the interests of the children and some are teacher planned, engaging the children in explicit, planned learning experiences through intentional teaching.

At Kids College children will experience the five learning outcomes of the EYLF

A strong sense of identity

Connected with and contribute to the world

Strong sense of well being

Confident and involved learners

Children are effective communicators

What will my child learn?

We ask families, our staff and the children themselves what they are currently interested in. You would have seen these forms in your child’s classroom. We then take this valuable information and plan specific learning outcomes for your child to extend on their interests and scaffold their learning to new and interesting levels.

You will see examples of these throughout the centre. This is one of the ways Kids College creates partnerships between us and your family and creates a relevant educational play experience for each child. We believe in learning through play based experiences, specifically designed interactions and experiences to enrich children’s learning and enjoyment.
