An Interest Based Approach
Interest-based learning
We believe children learn best when they are actively being engaged with a stimulating environment. We provide individual and group activities and engaging play situations to help our young learners to develop in a safe and caring environment.
Early Years Learning Framework
At Woongarrah ELC our program is guided by a national framework and tailored to your child. It is also based on the following 5 learning outcomes:
Identity
Children have a very strong connection to who they are
Confidence
Children learn confidently and are involved in their learning
Wellbeing
Children have a deep-felt sense of wellbeing
Connect & Contribute
Children feel a sense of belonging in the world and learn how they can contribute
Communication
Children are effective communicators
We know every child is a unique individual who will learn at their own pace. The above outcomes cover all areas of development and our aim is to incorporate these into each stage of your child’s development. Our educators give them the tools and provide guidance to support their learning and develop skills and confidence in their own unique way.
Many other leading Australian and international childcare centres and institutions use Storypark – and so does Woongarrah ELC. Storypark is an easy-to-use online service that helps teachers, parents and families to work together to extend children’s learning.
It helps your child get the best start in life by personalising their learning. It also helps teachers, carers and their families to improve understanding of each child’s interests and abilities. It deepens relationships and strengthens communication between Woongarrah ELC and your family. Whilst it is an online based service parents completely control their child’s digital footprint (Storypark does not own your data) and can decide who has access to their child’s information.
We love Storypark – and we believe you will too! In fact, a recent survey found that 70% of parents were more likely to send their child to a centre that offered it.
Why we love Storypark
Storypark connects all partners in your child journey through to “big school” like never before – opening up new ways of communicating a child’s learning journey. 97% of parents feel that Storypark has enabled them to be more involved in their child’s learning and 96% of educators think that Storypark has improved day-to-day practice. Parents and caregivers can relive and share important moments in their child’s development in a private online community that grows with them over time.
