Angaston Child Care and Early Learning Centre’s Program

DECD Universal Access Pre-school program

We have an onsite DECD Universal Access Pre-school program facilitated by a four year Bachelor’s Degree qualified Early Childhood Teacher.

Reggio Emilia Inspired

Our programs are inspired by the principles of Reggio Emilia and values the child as co-constructors of their own learning. The Reggio Emilia approach is an innovative and inspiring approach that values the child as an individual who is respected, capable and is a citizen with rights. The children at our centre enjoy a specially tailored music and movement program which is facilitated by a music specialist.
Our service is based on the Early Years Learning Framework which is based on the rights of the child; the nurturing of trusting relationships between the child and the educator; a dynamic and progressive learning environment; predictable flows of routines, and continuity (transitions) between every stage of each child’s development. This fosters citizenship within our service. Our philosophy and the Early Years Learning Framework underpins how we plan for the development of each child.
We believe that in order for children to understand the importance of a sustainable environment, sustainability is embedded in our program. Children take responsibility for all aspects of their own environment. Parents and the community encouraged to be involved in promoting sustainable practices both in the centre and the community.
