Arkie Play Based Curriculum

Your child’s day at Arkie will be filled with many activities, each designed with the principles and concepts of the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) in mind and experienced through the context of the Arkie way of teaching.  As stimulating environments and experiences can shape brain structure and cognitive ability, all the interactions, experiences, events and learning opportunities which occur at Arkie are designed to nurture children’s holistic growth and development.

“Play provides opportunities for children to learn as they discover, create, improvise and imagine.  When children play with other children, they create social groups, test out ideas, challenge each other’s thinking and build new understandings” – Early Years Learning Framework
