Our Educational Approach & Storypark
Butterflies Childcare and Early Learning Centre employs a play-based, emergent curriculum grounded in a strength-based approach that aligns with the interests, ideas, and unique needs of each child.
Our commitment to early childhood learning and development is in harmony with the Early Years Learning Framework, which envisions fostering a sense of belonging, celebrating individual being, and supporting the journey of becoming.
Our educators carefully document each child's learning and development, observing their engagement and reflecting on the relevant National and Victorian Frameworks to recognize learning and respond appropriately by adding resources, providing guidance, and considering further planning opportunities. We offer education and care tailored to children with a diverse range of abilities and needs, ensuring our educators are equipped with the necessary training and resources to implement an inclusive program that meets specific requirements.
Additionally, we assist families in accessing funding when needed. Our educators are attuned to the cultural and religious needs of all families, integrating significant and everyday experiences into the program to honor the diversity that each family brings.
Storypark
Each child has their own individual account on an online learning platform called Storypark. Storypark is an easy-to-use private online service that helps teachers, parents and families work together to record, share and extend children’s learning.
Storypark allows educators and families to:
- Be part of your child’s day no matter where you are.
- Extend your child’s interests and learning.
- Record your child’s stories and keep them forever.
- Share and collaborate with wider family in a safe, private environment.
- Perfect for any parent or family situation, including working couples, separated parents and overseas relatives.
- Free to access.
Children are tagged in a daily summary post called “Today’s Learning Journey” which includes details about what the children were involved in, the activities they showed interest in and also finer details about what meals were served, sleep times and more.
