Our Learning Curriculum

Emergent Curriculum

Put simply, an emergent curriculum is a program which ‘emerges’ primarily from the interests of the child. Unlike a formal program where content is drawn from a predetermined syllabus, an emergent program is based around a child’s capabilities and focus. It is a play-based program that covers the requirements of the Early Years Learning Framework.


Used in: Long Day Care – Preschool & School Aged Children Services

Emergent Curriculum

Emergent curriculum’ describes an approach to curriculum decision making that is responsive to children’s interests, and is meaningful, relevant and engaging for each child. An emergent curriculum has a strong theoretical base and is widely used in the early childhood sector.

School Preparation

An emergent curriculum will prepare your child for school entry. Through the medium of play, children will be exposed to literacy and numeracy-based experiences through which current capabilities will be strengthened and extended. While you should not expect to see children participating in highly structured, written tasks that are best reserved for formal learning, you should expect a program that is deliberate, planned and has academic rigor and challenge.
