Our learning and development outcomes are designed to support the complex and interconnected learning of young children. The outcomes we deliver are:

Children have a strong sense of identity – We aim to support children to develop a sense of belonging in their early learning setting and to foster a strong sense of self. We respect children’s autonomy and encourage them to grow as unique individuals in an environment of acceptance.

Children are connected with and contribute to their world - We support children to become aware that they have the right to belong to many different communities. We encourage learning about diversity, social responsibility, co-operation tolerance and fairness.

Children have a strong sense of wellbeing - We provide an environment where children can learn to become strong in their social and emotional wellbeing and feel confident to assert their capabilities and celebrate their achievements.

Our Motivation

Children are confident and involved learners - Our programs support children to become inquisitive thinkers and problem solvers. We foster children’s innate curiosities and provide an inspiring environment that encourages investigation, play, reflection and enthusiasm for learning.

Children are effective communicators - We recognize and respect the many ways in which young children communicate. Children’s voices and ideas are central to our program and practice at Ready Roos.

Learning occurs when children are active participants. Our programs offer children the chance to describe, explore, experiment, create, discover and communicate.

Children need freedom to initiate ideas and experiences and the security of a safe, respectful and supportive environment. We facilitate a range of choices and opportunities, allowing children to construct knowledge and understanding about themselves and the world around them.
