We have developed the Early Years Learning Framework to ensure your child receives quality education programs in their early childhood setting.This is a vital time for them to learn and develop. The Framework‘s vision is for all children to experience play-based learning that is engaging and builds success for life.

It is a guide for early childhood educators who work with children from birth to five years. They will use the Framework in partnership with families, children’s first and most influential educators, to develop learning programs responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities, and recognise that children learn through their play.

The EarlyYears Learning Framework describes childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming.
