Curriculum Specially Designed by Our Early Childhood Educators
Unlike centres that rely on generic or purchased curriculum packages, Foxdale Kindergarten’s educational program is thoughtfully designed and continuously refined by the centre’s own qualified Early Childhood Educators. This bespoke approach ensures the curriculum genuinely reflects the philosophy, values, and unique environment that Foxdale offers, while remaining responsive to the specific needs and interests of the children currently enrolled.
Belonging, Being and Becoming
The curriculum framework adheres to the national Belonging, Being and Becoming Framework (Early Years Learning Framework for Australia), ensuring alignment with quality standards while allowing flexibility for educators to tailor learning experiences. Educators draw upon their professional expertise, observational assessments, and understanding of child development theory to create meaningful learning opportunities across all developmental domains.
Educator-designed curriculum
Our educator-designed curriculum integrates seamlessly with Foxdale’s specialised programs including the Daily 12 Books literacy initiative, daily STEM activities, School Readiness Program, language of the month exposure, and sustainable living experiences through the vegetable garden and aquaponic system. Rather than treating these as separate additions, the curriculum weaves them together into a cohesive educational experience.
Play-based Learning
The play-based learning approach that underpins the curriculum recognises that children learn most effectively through active engagement, exploration, and discovery. Educators create intentional learning environments—both indoors and outdoors—where play becomes the vehicle for developing critical thinking, creativity, social skills, and academic foundations. Regular curriculum reviews and professional development ensure the program remains current with best practices in early childhood education while staying true to Foxdale’s home-like, nurturing philosophy.
