Education and Development
Play Based Educational Programs
The Early Years Learning Framework is a key component of the National Quality Framework which has been developed by Council of Australian Governments, to assist Teachers and Educators to provide young children throughout Australia in their early years, opportunities to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for success in the future. Play-based education is a key focus and the foundation of the Early Years Learning Framework.
At Bright Buttons we firmly believe in the importance of play in early childhood development. Play is a very important and effective tool and is central to a child’s learning and development. Play is non-threatening, spontaneous, meaningful, and helps children apply skills and knowledge as they make connections with their environments. Through play babies and young children explore and learn to understand the world around them as they discover, imagine, create, and begin to communicate. When children play they are showing what they have learned and what they are trying to understand. When children play with other children they create social group, test out ideas, challenge each other’s thinking and build new understandings.
Bright Buttons’ learning program is determined by each child’s interests and abilities, and focuses on extending their learning. Through implementation of the Early Years Learning Framework’s learning goals, Educators will assist children to develop:
Learning Outcome 1: Strong Sense of Identity
Learning Outcome 2: Connections With and Contributions to Their World
Learning Outcome 3: Strong Sense of Wellbeing
Learning Outcome 4: Confidence and Involvement in Learning
Learning Outcome 5: Effective Communicators
Kindergarten Program
Bright Buttons delivers an Approved Kindergarten Program run by a 4 year qualified Early Childhood Teacher. The Kindergarten Program provides children with opportunities to be involved in experiences which aim to foster and enhance children’s learning and development in preparation for Prep (Queensland's first formal year of school).
The Program is reviewed and evaluated weekly, and is directed to respond to the current developing needs and interests of children. Parent input plays an influential role in program developments, as we recognise the significant and complimentary roles parents play in the education of their children. Formal Parent-Teacher Interviews are offered annually, however, parents are welcome to request a meeting at anytime.
Routines and transitions are an integral and meaningful part of the Kindergarten day and learning program. Routines include daily organisational practices, such as meal times, rest and relaxation, toileting, tidying up, greetings and farewells, and group learning times.
The Kindergarten Program runs from 8:00am to 4:00pm daily. With the Kindergarten Program comes the added flexibility of long day care, so parents are welcome to drop off and pick up their children at anytime during the Service’s operating times.
