2022 Calendar​

 

Carramar Community Kindergarten offers and indoor/outdoor free-flow program based around the interests and needs of the children, families and Educators.  In this environment children have the opportunity to choose which playspace they would like to play in at different times of the day.  Our spaces support children across many interests and support many different types of play.  Resources are added to the environment to extend and add to the play.  Children can ask for and add resources and assist with our planning daily.  At Carramar Community Kindergarten we follow the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines and the C&K Curriculum Approach.  

​

The purpose of the Listening and Learning Together: C&K Curriculum Approach is to set out the values, commitments and visions for children’s learning that underpin the curriculum in C&K centres and to support educators’ to bring these to life in ways that realise the expectations described in The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF), and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG).

C&K believes that children do not learn in isolation. It is a collaborative process. C&K Curriculum Approach acknowledges the important role educators, parents, other children and the physical environment play in a child’s learning. C&K Curriculum Approach acknowledges children as competent and capable learners.

​

Over the year we incorporate the following into our program  

Developing independence, caring for your belongings, developing social skills -turn taking, sharing, entering play with others, negotiating, classroom skills - joining in group discussions, waiting turn to speak and confidence in speaking in front of others.

Literacy and numeracy is embedded in many different aspects of our program from counting how many grapes you have in your lunchbox to making signs, shopping lists and money for a shop the children want to create.  Children are encourage to explore different aspects of numeracy and maths concepts from shape, size, length, weight and representing numbers in different ways.  Through literacy, children are exploring print, the parts of a book, different letters, telling a story and writing their own words and stories.
