About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
In our Centre, we implement a play-based educational program that creates a safe and secure environment for all children to enhance their emotional, physical, intellectual, and aesthetic development.
Education is transformative and we share all children’s journey of self-discovery, growth, and learning. At Discover and Learn Academy, we believe that learning is enhanced in an environment where you feel you belong. Therefore, we are committed to nourishing the children’s and educators’ souls, creativity and imagination. It is important to provide opportunities for children to experiment, discover, create, investigate, practice theories, solve problems and express their ideas with the support of others. Children are always encouraged and supported to make their own decisions and choices and seek to develop positive problem-solving skills in a success-orientated environment.
We encourage and support children to interact positively and collaboratively, expressing empathy for others and actively challenging biased opinions and promoting social justice.
We provide children with endless opportunities to discover and learn about themselves, each other, and the world we live in, in an atmosphere that supports and encourages harmonious and meaningful relationships.

As the Approved Provider, I believe that the early years are the most influential in extending and enriching children’s development and education. I believe in a program that has a foundation of learning through play, both indoors and outdoors, in which children are encouraged to make choices and extend their own learning. I also recognise the importance of families, being the primary influence in a child’s life. I aim to continually develop and maintain collaborative and open partnerships with all families and as such promote an open-door policy. At Discover and Learn Academy I have a passionate and dedicated team of educators who are invested in each child’s wellbeing. Their constant positivity and hard work make our centre an incredible working environment. We work together to form a team that respects and values each other as well as share knowledge and skills to provide an environment where children feel safe but are also challenged.
I believe that all children are all individuals. Each have their own personality that grows from their home life and experiences. I endeavour to support each and every one of them to achieve their goals and meet their challenges in life with positivity and resilience. I believe the care and respect that we give a child in the environment of childcare is an extremely important one and that it should reflect the wants and needs of their families.
“It is vital that when educating our children’s brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.”
Dalai Lama
Experiences within early childhood lay the foundation for future educational achievements. Creating enriched learning experiences is vital to maximise a child’s potential. As an early childhood teacher, I believe that it’s my role to provide quality learning and developmentally appropriate experiences where children become successful, build confidence, allow for creativity and children are active participants in their learning. To achieve quality teaching in early childhood education, I believe that opportunities for play-based learning are essential as it allows children to make sense of the world. This occurs through children engaging, processing, exploring, discovering, investigating, and experimenting in learning and within the environment.
As an Early childhood teacher, it’s my role to look at children holistically and be responsive to their needs and interests. Providing opportunities for families and community involvement will enable children to feel connected, secure, build confidence and a sense of identity.
