Learning and Development at Fairholme Kindy

The Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines underpin the programming and planning of our programs at Fairholme Kindy.

Experienced, highly qualified, early childhood trained educators working within well-resourced and purpose-built indoor and outdoor play spaces plan the program incorporating the five learning and development areas of:

• Identity
• Connectedness
• Wellbeing
• Active Learning
• Communicating.

Through play, intentional teaching, real-life engagements and routines and transitions, the children are involved in a wide variety of open ended activities that provide a solid foundation for future success. Fairholme Kindy embraces the vision that all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life (Early Years Learning Framework).

Our Kindy Teachers’ plans are informed by their understanding of children’s prior learning, strengths, interests and ideas, and their judgments about children’s current learning. Environments are set up to foster curiosity, exploration, and discovery, both indoors and outdoors. The children are encouraged to engage in a variety of types of play within these learning  environments. Their play interests and involvement in play situations offer many teachable moments that will be extended and supported by the educators.
