The Early Years Learning Framework

Norwood Educators use the government prescribed Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) which encourages learning through play. EYLF describes childhood as a time of "belonging, being and becoming". The programme will be created by building on each child's interests and abilities, this is done through observation and documentation which is shared with each family.

Partnerships

Norwood Community Preschool is so named because it is a non-profit organisation
managed by the parents in conjunction with the Director, Educators and Administrative staff.
Our families are an integral part of our preschool community. This includes being involved
