At GloryKids Childcare & Kindergarten in Narre Warren, our curriculum is designed to support every child’s development through play-based learning, structured experiences, and meaningful relationships.

We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) - focusing on Belonging, Being, and Becoming - to help children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Educational Programs

Our educational programs are built around the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and our belief that children learn best through play, exploration, and real-world experiences.

We focus on:

  • Supporting each child’s individual strengths, interests, and development
  • Creating engaging experiences using natural, evolving, and open-ended materials
  • Encouraging curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving
  • Supporting social, emotional, and cognitive development

Every child’s learning journey is unique, and our educators adapt programs to ensure each child feels supported, engaged, and confident.

Learning Story Portfolios

Every child at GloryKids has their own Learning Story Portfolio, which documents and celebrates their development over time.

These portfolios:

  • Capture observations of children’s interests, interactions, and learning experiences
  • Focus on each child’s strengths and capabilities, rather than rigid developmental milestones
  • Provide insight into how children learn through play and exploration

We use a range of observational tools daily to support our educators’ understanding of each child’s development.
We also value strong partnerships with families.
Parents are encouraged to:

  • Take portfolios home
  • Contribute their own observations
  • Share important family and cultural insights

This collaborative approach helps create a more meaningful and personalised learning experience for every child.

Morning Circle & Group Time

Children come together for songs, storytelling, and group discussions. This helps build a sense of belonging, develop language skills, and create a positive start to the day. Activities may include sharing ideas, exploring the weather, or introducing new learning concepts.

12:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Rest & Quiet Rejuvenation Time

Younger children have a rest or nap, while older children participate in quiet activities such as reading, drawing, or puzzles. This time helps children recharge and supports their overall wellbeing.

Afternoon Activities & Creative Play

Children engage in a variety of experiences including music and movement, group games, continued project work, and outdoor play. A healthy afternoon tea is provided to keep energy levels up.
