Our Centres provide child-centered emergent programs. The programming is based on observing children on a regular basis, evaluating their needs and planning activities from these observations. We aim to develop programs to meet the children’s needs and therefore enhance individual development. Each child will be pace guided to develop at an individual pace according to his or her unique, individual way. Programs are evaluated on a regular basis. The skills that the curriculum is based on through the Centre are:

Emergent weekly mapping

Mapping is a form of documenting children’s interests, ideas and acting on spontaneous happenings within the room. It is an accurate record of the daily activities that took place within the room on the day.

Having each day recorded will enable to show how the experiences and activities implemented have evolved. Activities can be linked between days and over the week to see how activities lead from one experience to the next.

Emergent programming requires educators within the room to support each other in documenting and recording the children involved in activities that takes place within the group. Reflecting on all aspects of the day gives information on children’s learning experiences, identify patterns in child’s play, interest, behaviour they may be exploring, social relationships and interactions and discuss each child’s development and capabilities within the day.

As opposed to waiting until 2014 to embrace and deliver the new Kindergarten Curriculum, we have taken the lead and already employed fully qualified Kindergarten Teachers across all of our centres.
