Occasional Care
Occasional Care at St Anthony's
The Occasional Care Program at St Anthony’s is guided by the Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Framework for Australia (EYLF). The framework supports curriculum decision-making in a play-based learning environment. Each child's current knowledge, strengths, ideas and interests are foundational to our program. Educators actively engage with children in their play, facilitating and extending their learning and development. Flexible learning environments are designed as an invitation for learning, and our responsive routine enables children to make choices and decisions in their learning. Open-ended experiences, child-initiated learning and the nature play space will be used to foster children's thinking and curiosity. Each child's learning and development are documented as part of the planning cycle, and the Seesaw app is employed to document and share children's learning with families.
At St Anthony’s, the Occasional Care Program is offered every Monday and Friday during the school term and is designed for children aged 3-5.
