Our Evolution Program is specifically designed to target and achieve educational and developmental milestones relevant to babies (0-2 years) and toddlers (2-3 years).
In alignment with the National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework, all activities are enriched through experience, promote problem-solving and encourage positive learning for your little one.
Our learning environments work hand-in-hand with our program, equipping children to build trusting relationships with adults, develop positive social interactions and facilitate learning experiences. Our rooms are safe, supportive and nurturing and are filled with age-appropriate resources to assist in a child’s mental and physical development. Babies, toddlers and preschoolers are encouraged to be creative, responsible and to discover a sense of self.
Our Evolution program stimulates discovery and curiosity through a play-based learning approach. Learning through play – whether spontaneous or intentional – allows your child to engage in critical thinking that provides opportunities for problem-solving in a hands-on, practical manner. In turn, this will enable them to apply, evaluate and analyse knowledge in a creative way. Most importantly, our resources and educators encourage play as a method of learning, as it prompts imagination and enthusiasm and inspires a lifelong love for learning.
At Young Academics, we’re committed to providing children with the brightest possible start to their future. Our Evolution program focuses on 7 key areas, which are reinforced holistically through our centres, programs and staff.
Our Core program integrates various literacy and numeracy activities through reading, writing, listening, conversing, intentional play and more. The relationship between sounds, words and ideas helps children develop their thinking. Critical thinking is further developed through intentional teaching activities such as trial and error and tactical play, which further refines their motor skills. No matter the activity, we ensure children can explore, learn and grow safely and at their own pace.
Being confident and comfortable when faced with challenges makes learning easier. This means that learning literacy and numeracy concepts can be taught clearly. Through our Scholar program, we provide children with the necessary tools and mindset to confidently make the transition between changes and challenges as seamless as possible. Our orientation days and new room transitions also assist in ensuring that change is dealt with appropriately from a young age.
We provide babies and toddlers with physical activities that assist in the development of gross motor skills essential to their growth, learning and social development. What’s more, physical activity is made fun through music and movement. Babies and toddlers are also taught to be responsible for their health and hygiene. This is best highlighted through our healthy menu, Munch and Move, and our Kitchen Garden program, all of which provide children with the knowledge and confidence to form healthy habits.
Through our Discovery program, children can explore their surrounding environments, both indoors and outdoors, and learn at their own pace. Our centres allow babies and toddlers the opportunity to enrich their learning through the use of technology, relevant learning experiences and teacher-facilitated play activities.
Through storytelling, art, music, dance, dramatic and role-play, babies and toddlers learn to understand and express their interests and passions. This assists children to become confident and involved learners, helping build skills relevant to phonics, language and communication.
The program integrates real-life situations such as recycling, gardening, the environment, sustainable practices, and so on, to encourage experiences that shed light on the world around them. This ensures that children are well-informed about their surrounding contexts and know how to contribute to that context as they grow.
With a mix of individual and group interactions, your little one can develop a strong sense of identity and independence. Through various initiatives such as our PALS program and SAFE Series, relationships are built, maintained and respected. Co-operative play also contributes to social and emotional wellbeing by building friendships and teaching how to deal with conflict resolution.
As outlined in the National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework, regular assessments are essential when it comes to your child’s overall development. At Young Academics, we fulfil these requirements by setting goals within our Evolution program. These goals are tailored to each individual child and are developed in conjunction with families, to ensure that every child is given an opportunity to succeed.
At the start of the year, educators work in partnership with parents to set goals for your child. Each month we set up learning experiences to help your child reach these goals. These experiences are reordered through observations and follow-ups. Every six months, we provide a developmental summary based on your child’s progress, linking it to each area in the Evolution program and their individual goals. We then give feedback to families with regular “meet and greet” evenings, allowing you to speak one-on-one with your child’s educator. This will enable educators to plan specific experiences for your child to help them achieve goals that assist in their developmental milestones.
This holistic approach to assessing is unique to Young Academics and ensures that our programs are uniquely tailored to help children achieve their goals.
