Our Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum

Learning at Aurrum Kids

At Aurrum Kids, we believe that the early years of life are fundamental for a child’s growth and development. Our play-based curriculum emphasises the essential rights of children to belong, be and become.

Aurrum Kids’ holistic approach for an early childhood curriculum ensures that each child is supported in the development of their social, emotional, cognitive, physical, sensory, communication and independence skills. Our educators skillfully create environments where children feel empowered to explore, question and engage with the world around them. This approach ensures that each child at Aurrum Kids not only develops foundational skills and knowledge, but also grows a deep love for learning.

We place a strong emphasis on creating an inclusive learning environment that supports the evolving interests and developmental stages of every child. By documenting each child’s activities, interactions and progress, our educators are able to modify the curriculum and learning experiences to ensure that they are relevant for each child. We actively involve parents and caregivers in the learning process, working together to share insights into their child’s development and identify learning goals.

Nursery (0-2 years)

In the Nursery Program, we provide a nurturing and secure environment that respects the individuality and developmental needs of each infant and toddler. Our educators focus on creating warm, inviting spaces that stimulate curiosity and foster a sense of belonging. Through a variety of sensory-rich activities, we encourage exploration and discovery in our Nursery Program.

Our daily routines are flexible, adapting to the individual rhythms and routines of each child, and our spaces are thoughtfully arranged with age-appropraite resources that promote safe exploration. We foster early moments of learning through tailored responses to your child’s needs and development, helping your baby grow in so many ways every day.

Preschool (3-5 years)

Our Preschool Program is tailored to foster the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of each child in this pivotal age group. We emphasise the development of key skills such as early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving and critical thinking, while continually nurturing creativity and a love for learning. The program integrates a variety of activities including art, music, science, literacy and physical education, ensuring a holistic learning experience. To encourage exploration and discovery, our teachers and educators create a balance of structured learning experiences and open-ended play. This approach promotes independence and confidence, aiming to ensure a smooth transition to formal schooling.

At Aurrum Kids, we prioritise Key Learning Areas in our curriculum to support and enrich children’s all-around development. Our program, encompassing important subjects and skills, is designed to cater to different age groups and individual learning needs. This approach ensures an engaging learning environment where children can explore, discover and excel in activities that are both age-appropriate and intellectually stimulating.

To prepare children for a technologically advanced world, our curriculum incorporates interactive and age-appropriate technological tools. This integration not only enhances the effectiveness of our program but also equips children with essential digital literacy skills.

Our commitment to sustainability education is also integral to our teaching. We engage children in eco-friendly practices and experiences, fostering an early sense of responsibility towards the environment.
