At Bindook Cottage, our program supports the development of the whole child. Through play-based learning, children are encouraged to grow physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.<\/p>\n

We provide a nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported to explore their interests, develop friendships and build confidence. Through engaging experiences and meaningful interactions with educators, children are encouraged to investigate, imagine, create and problem solve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our program is guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)<\/strong>, which supports children\u2019s learning from birth to five years.<\/p>\n

The framework helps educators create meaningful experiences that support children\u2019s wellbeing, confidence and development while encouraging curiosity and a love of learning.<\/p>\n

Through play-based experiences and caring relationships with educators, children are supported to develop skills that help them grow, learn and feel a strong sense of belonging.<\/p>\n<\/div>
