Our Living and Learning Curriculum. Forestview?s teaching practices and educational program is guided by the new C & K curriculum framework building waterfalls. We believe children do no learn in isolation but it is a collaborative process. Building Waterfalls acknowledges the important role adults ? educators and parents ? the other children and the physical environment play in children?s learning. Building Waterfalls acknowledges children as competent and capable learners and the significant role adults play in optimising and enhancing children?s living and learning experiences. Adults and children share responsibility for the learning process through interaction, negotiation and collaboration. We focus on Learning how to learn not what to learn. Staff regularly undertake professional development to ensure the most up-to-date research is used as a basis for shaping curriculum decisions. The curriculum offered is a collaborative venture, negotiated with children and developed by fully qualified early childhood professionals. The physical environments and mood and feel of the centre are designed to support and enhance your child's learning. Your child?s curiosity, enthusiasm and love of learning will continually be encouraged by staff. As teachers and children engage in inquiry together, children are learning to observe, ask questions, reflect on their actions, and engage in meaningful and self-directed activity. Building Waterfalls and it?s connection to the early years learning framework. While Building Waterfalls is C & K?s unique curriculum, capturing the essence of C & K is also provides our educators with an approach that complements the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). EYLF is an overarching document that provides educators in all Australian early childhood settings with broad direction for supporting and enhancing children?s learning. It applies to all children, birth to five years and through their transition to school. EYLF embraces the vision that ?all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life?. EYLF describes a vision of children?s learning, characterised by: Belonging ? recognising that knowing where and with whom you belong is integral to human existence, providing a basis for children?s interdependence and relationships with others Being ? recognising and valuing the ?here and now? in children?s lives, and viewing childhood as more than simply preparation for adulthood or for the future.
