Education
Our Curriculum
Little Flyers offers an inspiring and aesthetically pleasing learning environment that provides every child with opportunities to discover and explore using their senses. The National Quality Framework guides the practices of our Centres. The learning and development outcomes are designed to support the complex and interconnected learning of young children.
Children have a strong sense of identity
Children are connected to and contribute to their world
Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
Children are confident and involved learners
Children are effective communicators
Learning occurs when children are active participants. Our programs offer children the chance to describe, explore, experiment, create, discover and communicate.
Children need freedom to initiate ideas and experiences and the security of a safe, respectful and supportive environment.
We facilitate a range of choices and opportunities, allowing children to construct knowledge and understanding about themselves and the world around them.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, value diversity and strive to action cultural competence with our children, families and colleagues. The principles of equity, diversity and fairness are valued and inclusive practices are central to how Little Flyers operates. For more information on Little Flyers Curriculum, please see our ‘Teaching, Learning and Curriculum’.
Use of technology
As the children grow up in a world full of technology, we hope to equip them with the knowledge on how to safely use it to support their learning and development. Screen time at Kids on Collins is purposeful and often social and is directly linked to the emerging learning ideas that are relevant to the children and the program. Technology is used within our Program as an additional tool to enhance curriculum activities, not a substitution. Educators use a range of tools such as music players, iPads, cameras, light boxes and interactive whiteboards to extend on children’s learning
