Early Childhood Learning & Wellbeing Programs

WITH SHARON KEMP

We offer a range of unique multi-modal early childhood creative development and holistic wellbeing experience within our programs.

​

We are a bespoke service, so our programs can be tailored to your centre's needs and can be delivered onsite as weekly sessions over a term or year.

​

Our programs are influenced by the Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches to early learning, fostering children to express themselves creatively and learn through joyful and meaningful experiences.

​

​

What’s involved?

​

​​All our sessions are designed to support and align with the five learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the learning and development areas of the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG):

  • Identity

  • Connectedness

  • Wellbeing

  • Active Learning

  • Communicating

Alignment between EYLF and QKLG (PDF, 195.5 KB)

​

Each session also meets the NQS requirements in Areas 1, 2, 5, and 6. Reports on learning outcomes & meeting of standards can be made available for each program. 

We offer four general themes in the delivery of our sessions.  These themes can be standalone or combined to meet your requirements. 

Please scroll down for themes we offer and their benefits and significant learnings.
