Kensington Gardens Preschool

Curriculum

Our main goals are:

• to create learning opportunities for children at all levels of development
• to provide a wide range of experiences and resources, and utilise a variety of approaches to suit differing learning styles, abilities, interest and cultural backgrounds
• to provide a challenging, safe, secure and positive learning environment which values the participation of the child’s family in the Preschool program
• to promote a harmonious environment in which children can learn and gain confidence in readiness for future learning

We believe that children learn best through being in control of their own learning environment.

Children who attend this preschool:

• have the freedom to manage their own time
• have opportunities to interact with people who value the quality of play
• have time for uninterrupted and self-selected activities
• have time to be active, curious, quiet and reflective

Curriculum development of children's interests and projects is on the display board near front entrance. Children's learning experiences are evaluated every week.

Weekly planning sessions incorporate individual children's learning styles, and we note their strengths, and plan for their future progress.

The curriculum is based on the South Australian Curriculum, the Early Years Learning Framework.

The curriculum is based on the following learning outcomes:

• Children have a strong sense of identity
• Children are effective communicators
• Children are connected with and contribute to their world
• Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
• Children are confident and involved learners
