Woodville Alliance Early Learning Curriculum
Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), a key component of the National Quality Framework, which has been developed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to assist educators in providing young children throughout Australia with the best start to their educational journey. The framework focuses on achieving specific outcomes for students:
- Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity.
- Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
- Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.
- Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
- Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.
We integrate these outcomes into our daily activities to ensure a holistic approach to your child’s development at our early learning centre.

At Woodville Alliance, we believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to thrive. Here’s a glimpse into a day at our early learning centre:
-
The Joeys Room is for our 1–3 years old children. The program offered in this room is focused around the EYLF.
-
The Kangaroo Room is for our 3-6 years old children. The program in this room provides a focus on the EYLF and School Readiness Skills.
Each day we carefully plan and set up both the indoor and outdoor areas. We include a variety of experiences so that children explore all areas of development – physical, social, intellectual.
“Childcare was needed, and the older siblings used to attend the service and had very good learning. When they moved to school they were ready for the big school and well-equipped with the skills needed for the new learning stage.” Parent
