At Angels Early Learning, we take pride in our unique approach to early education, tailored to meet each child’s needs through engaging, play-based experiences that challenge and enhance their thinking and learning. Our Kinder Programs, led by Bachelor Qualified Kindergarten Teachers, build essential skills for a smooth transition into Early Stage One of the Australian School Curriculum.
This program focuses on foundational skills crucial for academic and social success. It promotes early literacy and numeracy, encourages positive social interactions, teaches self-help skills, and emphasizes routine-following, ensuring that children are effectively prepared for their educational journey ahead.
This program offers more structured activities, including advanced literacy and numeracy lessons and focused writing skills. It emphasizes preparing children for formal schooling with a consistent routine while collaborating with families and primary schools to ensure readiness for the next educational step.
Our program closely aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework, grounded in the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. These guidelines shape and inform our practices, ensuring a nurturing and inclusive environment for all children.
We personalise our curriculum to cater to each child’s unique learning and development needs, fostering enthusiasm and motivation for a smooth school transition. Our individualised approach supports the development of foundational skills and dispositions essential for both academic and personal success.
We emphasize developing independence and confidence in children to prepare them for school. This is achieved by offering leadership opportunities, such as 'buddying' with younger peers, and promoting self-reliance in personal care tasks. These experiences help children build essential skills for their future educational success.
We focus on reading, writing and practicing sounds. Our literacy-rich environment promotes the use of new vocabulary through conversation, with teachers modelling proper grammar and sentence structures and includes advanced activities like interactive storytelling with complex narratives and structured writing to boost comprehension.
Numeracy instruction includes numbers, patterns, shapes, sizes, time and operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, linking these concepts to everyday life. Children explore mathematical ideas through hands-on play, sorting, counting, measuring and activities involving sequences, problem-solving and arithmetic.
We support preschoolers in developing advanced fine motor control by encouraging the use of various tools, including pencils, scissors, crayons and brushes. These activities enhance emergent writing skills, helping to refine hand-eye coordination and precision, which are essential for their overall writing development.
Our educators foster development through engaging verbal interactions, encouragement and tailored resources. By thoughtfully reflecting on each child’s progress, they help build on existing skills and cultivate a positive self-view as learners, ensuring motivation and continuous growth in early education and beyond.
Alongside foundational activities, we provide challenging tasks such as advanced literacy and numeracy exercises, problem-solving games, and complex crafts. These elements prepare children for school success, equipping them with the skills needed to tackle the demands of primary education and future learning.
We prioritize developing essential skill sets for school readiness, encompassing physical, social, emotional, and oral language skills. This comprehensive approach not only prepares children for the demands of primary school but also fosters their overall development, helping them build confidence and resilience as they embark on their learning path.
At the end of the year, teachers prepare comprehensive Transition Statements that summarize each child’s development and readiness for school. These statements offer valuable insights and are shared with families and future schools, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in learning as children start their academic experiences in primary education.
At Angels Early Learning, we go beyond preparing children for school; we prepare them for life. Our holistic approach nurtures academic, emotional, and social development, equipping each child with essential skills and values needed to navigate their world confidently. This strong foundation empowers them to unlock their full potential and thrive in all aspects of life as they grow.
