Our Early Learning
Our Programs
Many, many years ago, professionals working in the early childhood field identified that in order for young children to reach their full potential in a learning environment, they must each be viewed as an individual. As individuals, each child has unique interests, varying levels of skills and very specific needs from adults and peers. Each child also has a unique style of learning that allows them to gain the most from experiences.
For over 20 years ABC Learning Centres has been developing and implementing educational programs for each age group. These programs are constantly reviewed and revised in accordance with the latest research into child development and are used as the basis for planning teaching strategies in the early learning environment. Our pre-school programs also follow school readiness guidelines as set by the relevant State or Territory.
Using these programs, our carers and teachers teach our 4-5 year old children to develop both long and short terms goals. These goals are then used as the guide for planning individual objectives for each child.
By taking a wide variety of direct observations of each child's individual strengths and interests and through partnership and communication with families, activities are planned to engage the child. These activities allow opportunities for the child to work in a one on one situation with the teacher or in small or large groups with peers, to achieve step by step growth in all areas of their development.
By planning activities that build upon the individual child's strengths we ensure that children succeed in their skill building and therefore develop a healthy attitude to learning.
Children in our programs participate in a wide variety of activities as well as a flexible daily routine and planned transition times which are developed to ensure that every part of the day is a 'teachable moment in time'. Our programs and the activities offered are based on the individual child. Each child is able to develop skills according to their own unique abilities.
