(EYLF) PRINCIPLES

 

The following 8 Principles reflect contemporary theories, perspectives and research evidence concerning children’s learning and early childhood pedagogy.

  • embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives 
  • commit to equity, inclusion and high expectations 
  • consider sustainability in all its forms
