PROGRAMMING

At Watch Me Grow Early Learning Centre each room has a monthly program written by a Diploma Qualified Room Leader. Our programs are emergent and reflect all areas of the Early Years Learning Framework, with the Kinder program following the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and running more frequently as needed. The program is broken down into the sections as seen in the image below. The learning experiences and follow up activities planned for the month are guided by the children's interests and developmental needs. We also offer an indoor/outdoor program everyday (weather permitting).

Our program evidence is documented in our floor books and posted through daily images and children's observations on our observation platform Kinderloop.

CHILD-LED PLANNING
 

‘The Floorbook Approach is an innovative child-led approach to observation, documentation and planning which is now implemented in settings around the world. By listening to children and identifying their interests we can create a unique learning opportunity which excites and interests children.

Floorbooks are blank books where we can record children’s voices and their ideas to use in our planning. Group writing in a Floorbook allows shared thinking as children recall each others ideas and record them through writing, diagrams and photographs. This child centred approach records the evidence of the process of play and the learning that comes from it.’   Claire Warden (Mindstretchers) 

​

We have Floorbooks available in all rooms for Educators and children to document learning experiences together. These may be spontaneous learning based input from the child, family and/or educator or a project the children and educator's are completing together... the opportunities are endless!

​

See some examples of our Floorbooks below:

KINDERLOOP
Introducing you to our online platform - Kinderloop.
​
Every day you will receive photos of you child/ren engaging in play as well as their daily routine information i.e. meals, sleeps, bottles and sunscreen. Educators also share your children's learning stories, follow up observations and developmental milestone documentation directly to Kinderloop, creating an online portal of your child/ren's learning journey. 
​
Kinderloop is also a great way to keep families up to date with events happening at the service.
