The Kangaroos is led by our Early Childhood Teacher. The team have a strong focus on play-based learning. Our four-year-old children also attend the Jingili Preschool, so we have shared care.
Educators work in partnership with the preschool to be using the same strategies and support children’s interests across both sites. The learning environment encourages children to engage in literacy and numeracy activities. The room is inclusive, and we work in close partnership with early childhood Australia to support all children and guide positive behaviour. The room has additional educators funded by the Government to ensure quality standards are met.
We embed the NT preschool curriculum into our program and assess children’s learning through a transition statement that is provided to transition teachers. The teachers observe a child’s progress against the five-learning outcome in the Early years learning framework.
