At Creative Kiddies, we aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can move safely and freely between the indoor and the outdoor environment, interact with the resources, explore and learn. The children are provided with age appropriate learning experiences that meets their individual needs, interests and abilities.

The children's current knowledge, culture, ideas and interests are the foundation of the program.

• Our aim is to work in partnership with the families to ensure that consistency between home and the service occurs and to provide the children with learning experiences that interest and extend their current development.
• The Service uses the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) – Being, Belonging, Becoming as a basis for curriculum planning. The program is play-based which encourages the children to choose those resources and experiences that they wish to engage and that interest them. Using the children’s interests as a starting point the Educators then use intentional teaching techniques to facilitate and encourage the children to explore and extend their knowledge, thinking and skills.

The program will provide a variety of developmentally appropriate experiences and materials that are selected to achieve the following goals:

• Foster positive self-concept
• Develop social skills
• Encourage children to think, reason, question and experiment
• Encourage language development
• Enhance physical development and skills
• Encourage and demonstrate sound health, safety and nutritional practices
• Encourage creative expression
• Respect cultural diversity of staff and children
• Respect gender diversity

Educators will encoourage all children to participate in the activities but also respect the child’s rights if they choose not to participate at times

During our daily routine, regardless of the age of the children, experiences will be provided to extend the children's self-help and social skills.

School readiness programs will be implemented through out the year to prepare the children for school.
