The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is a foundational approach to early childhood education across Western Australia. At Little Learners, we proudly implement the EYLF to support children’s development, wellbeing, and lifelong learning.
For families in Kardinya, Willagee, Coolbellup and surrounding suburbs, understanding the EYLF and its three core concepts of Belonging, Being and Becoming can help you feel confident in your child’s early learning journey.
What is the EYLF?
The EYLF is Australia’s national framework for early childhood education. It guides educators in creating meaningful learning experiences that support children’s:
- Social and emotional development
- Communication and language skills
- Cognitive growth and problem-solving
- Physical wellbeing and confidence
At Little Learners, our programs are aligned with the EYLF to ensure every child receives a high-quality, well-rounded education.
Belonging: Building Strong Connections
Belonging is the foundation of the EYLF. It focuses on helping children feel connected to their family, community, culture, and environment.
When children experience a strong sense of belonging, they:
- Feel safe, secure, and supported
- Build positive relationships with peers and educators
- Develop confidence to explore and learn
At Little Learners near Kardinya, we create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued. Our educators build strong relationships with children, helping them feel comfortable and confident in their surroundings.
This sense of belonging encourages children to actively engage in learning and social interactions.
Being: Embracing the Present Moment
The concept of Being highlights the importance of children experiencing and enjoying the present.
Childhood is a unique and valuable stage of life, and children learn best when they are:
- Free to explore and play
- Encouraged to express themselves
- Supported in developing their interests
At Little Learners, we embrace play-based learning, allowing children to:
- Engage in creative activities
- Explore their environment
- Develop self-awareness and confidence
By focusing on being, we support children in building a strong sense of identity and independence.
Becoming: Supporting Growth and Development
Becoming reflects the ongoing process of growth and change as children develop new skills and knowledge.
Through early learning experiences, children:
- Build problem-solving and critical thinking skills
- Develop communication and social abilities
- Gain confidence in their abilities
At our childcare centre near Kardinya and Willagee, we provide a stimulating and supportive environment where children can explore, experiment, and learn.
Our educators guide and encourage children, helping them reach their full potential and prepare for future learning.
