Learning
Supporting curiosity, thinking and understanding.
Learning happens through everyday experiences, interactions and play. As children explore ideas, ask questions and make connections, they begin to build understanding and confidence in their learning.
Learning is not separate from play, it is woven through the experiences children have each day. When children are curious, engaged and supported to explore, they begin to develop ways of thinking that support lifelong learning.
Through exploring, questioning and experimenting, children build confidence, persistence and a willingness to try new ideas.
