Our Educational Program 

​

Children thrive and learn best when their interests and strengths are captured. For this reason, the Educators at our Service implement an Inquiry based, Emergent Style Curriculum as part of their Educational Program. An Inquiry based, Emergent Curriculum is a way of planning that is based on and extends the children’s interest at a certain time. Planning an Emergent Curriculum requires close observation and knowledge of a child or group of children to find what is currently sparking their interest and curiosity.

 

The Inquiry based, Emergent Curriculum is play based, child-directed, can include both individual and group components and includes intentional teaching. The openness and exploratory nature of this type of Curriculum requires a lot of creativity and flexibility from Educators but is more exciting for the children and maximises learning outcomes. The responsive nature of an Emergent Curriculum requires Educators to have a deep knowledge of, and connection with the children in their care, to plan for their interests, needs and strengths.   

 

All the children’s learning stories, observations, learning progress and outcomes are documented on our digital documentation platform Xplor Playground. Parents can view this information on their Xplor Home App.
