Learning areas
Ways children can explore and learn
The approved early-learning approach includes stories, songs, numbers, language, movement and practical activities adapted to each child.
01
Early Literacy
Stories, rhymes, songs and book play help children become familiar with sounds, words and the pleasure of reading.
02
Early Numeracy
Counting, sorting, matching and noticing patterns turn everyday moments into first steps with numbers and shapes.
03
Language & Communication
Talking, listening, singing and storytelling build the confidence to express thoughts, needs and feelings.
04
Creative Arts
Drawing, painting, music, dance and pretend play give children many ways to imagine, create and share ideas.
05
Physical Development
Movement and hands-on play can encourage coordination and mobility according to each child's abilities.
06
Social & Emotional Development
Sharing, taking turns, making friends and naming feelings help children build healthy relationships with others.
07
Discovery & Exploration
Hands-on experiences with natural materials, simple experiments and outdoor play encourage curiosity about the world.
Why play matters
Learning through play
The centre's early-learning plan brings together stories, songs, movement and practical activities, with space for each child to join in their own way.
01
Curiosity
Children can follow a question, handle materials and notice what happens next.
02
Creativity
Stories, movement and make-believe open up ways to express an idea.
03
Confidence
Time to try again lets children make discoveries at their own pace.
04
Connection
Shared activities give children opportunities to play alongside and learn from one another.
