Early Years Learning Framework - Kuraby Early Learning Centre

By promoting a child’s interest we find, they learn at their own level.

  • Kuraby Early Learning Centre encourage children to learn at their own pace and with their own interests
  • Children are able to explore, experiment, and take challenges

This all helps to strengthen both individual and group’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative development.

Our Early Years Learning Framework provides the highest quality care and helps children to develop good habits and attitudes.

We welcome all children regardless of cultural background, religion, or developmental needs.

Programs

Ella Program

ELLA is an exciting digital language learning program for Kindergarten children. Through using play-based apps called Polyglots (a polyglot is someone who is multilingual) on tablet devices, the children will learn the Chinese language and it will open up a world cultural possibility for them.
The children gain so much more than a new language experience, ELLA can boost children’s learning of cultural appreciation, digital, cognitive, and social skills.

  • Children to be an active member in their community by parting in community events.
