Programs & Fees

At KindyTown our foundation for planning is based on The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). It highlights how children start learning from birth and even pre-birth and providing children with the right environment, tools, guidance, and methods of learning can actually help to increase their ability to learn throughout their lives. The team at Kindytown has a comprehensive understanding of the VEYLDF and this is a key focus area of the ongoing professional development program.

The VEYLDF is Based on the Concept of Being, Belonging and Becoming:

Being
Highlighting the importance of the here and now. It is about the present and letting each child be themselves and understanding who they are and building and maintaining relationships with others.

Belonging
Knowing where and with whom you belong. Belonging recognizes children’s interdependence with others and the key role they play in defining their identities. Children learn best when they feel they belong to their communities at large. By providing a safe, secure and comfortable environment at KindyTown we will make sure to foster this experience.

Becoming
Acknowledge children continue to learn and grow by experiencing new things, different events and circumstances. This highlights as children learn and grow they continue to change who they are.

The VEYLDF identifies five Outcomes for young children from birth and extends these to include all Victorian children from birth to eight years:

• Children have a strong sense of identity (identity)
• Children are connected with and contribute to their world (community)
• Children have a strong sense of wellbeing (wellbeing)
• Children are confident and involved learners (learning)
• Children are effective communicators (communication).
