Australian Framework for Early Childhood Education

Framework imageFramework imageFramework image
At the heart of Neldrac’s program is “Belonging, Being, and Becoming”, the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) by Australian government. This is the Australian Government’s national framework for early childhood education, and a key component of the National Quality Framework (NQF) for early childhood education and care which is designed to encourage continuous improvement of education and care services. The EYLF defines the principles, practices and outcomes essential to every early learning program and is designed to ensure all children, from birth to five years of age, receive high quality learning experiences.

The Framework has a strong emphasis on play-based learning and aims to achieve five overall Learning Outcomes:
  • Children have a strong sense of identity
  • Children are connected with and contribute to their world
  • Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
  • Children are confident and involved learners
  • Children are effective communicators.

We’re all passionate about early learning. Everything we do is for the benefit of the children in our care, because children are at the centre of everything we do. Our qualified staff know that the best early learning happens in environments where children feel safe, loved and protected. This requires a place where children are nurtured and their minds stimulated.
