At Seaford District Community Children’s Centre the Kindergarten room program involves children actively participating in learning through play.  We are out and about in the community discovering the local beaches, Kuitpo forest, Urrbrae, Urrimbirra, swimming lessons and gymnastics. The program is planned with respect to children's developing competence by offering opportunities to make choices and take new challenges whilst they are in our care.  The program implements the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and is underpinned by secure attachment theory, promoting social and emotional development and recognises that our primary care giving teams promote children to develop stable trusting relationships with their carers.  Through these relationships the program encourages and supports each child’s developing independence and self help skills, interactions, builds a sense of growing competence and self esteem and guides children’s interests and ideas.

The Seaford District Community Children’s Centre Kindergarten team all access non contact time for program and planning. The Tarnda room is well resourced the team manages their own budget each term to purchase programming consumables, toys and equipment for the children and team.  To support the ongoing learning of children and educators the Kindy room has access to its’ own curriculum computer.  Educators have access and attend industry based professional development and training.

Each child has their own developmental learning profile which includes their programmed observations, planned activities and assessment for learning. These profiles are designed to celebrate the child’s learning journey.
