Napoleon’s Kindergarten, located behind Napoleons Primary School, is a state of the art new facility dedicated to offering local children and their families an exceptional educational experience.
Our Educational Curriculum is developed in line with and reflects the outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). These frameworks focus on the benefits of play-based learning and the opportunities this allows for children to learn and grow. The role of educators is to encourage and support, directly teach, positively guide, and facilitate in play and social interactions. This is achieved through an ongoing planning cycle of observing, analysing, planning, acting, and reflecting.
Children are naturally motivated to play, to actively and imaginatively engage with people, objects and their environment. Our play-based curriculum builds on this intrinsic motivation, using play as a context for learning within environments that are thoughtfully designed for play-based learning opportunities. Children are encouraged to exercise independence and choice and to initiate play ideas, to focus their attention and to achieve intrinsic satisfaction.
While playing, children may be pretending, exploring, manipulating, constructing, creating, investigating, discovering, thinking, organising, imagining, interacting, negotiating, and making sense of their world, promoting their holistic development (physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative).
We welcome enquires from all families and encourage interested parents to make a time to come and see our amazing centre.
