While every home is different (some families are Team Disney, others love Nickelodeon), there is one thing they all have in common: the desire to give their children the best possible start in early education.
As children grow, they become more curious about the world around them and are driven to learn and explore.
At Milestones Early Learning centres across Australia, including those in Point Cook, Wyndham, Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing and Tarneit, instilling a love of learning in your child sits at the heart of everything staff do.
The team is passionate about early childhood education, and the important role it plays in the lives of young children and their families.
What makes a Milestones Centre different?
Milestones educators and early childhood teachers are trained in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum designed and implemented by one of Australia’s largest providers of early education and childcare, Affinity Education Group.
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Australia’s most progressive approach to early education for children from birth to five. It focuses on what children learn, how children learn and where children learn and is distilled into specifically designed for three key age groups; babies, toddlers and older 3-5-year-olds, which enable early childhood educators to meet children’s individual needs.
Dr Lesley Jones, head of pedagogy at Affinity Education Group, said “Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Australia’s most progressive approach to delivering the Early Years Learning Framework for children aged birth to five years“.
“Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum has emerged from a philosophy established by Affinity in 2015 and is based on what children learn, where children learn and how children learn. The feedback from our educators is that this really supports them as they undertake their observations of children and respond with thoughtful programming to deliver the Early Years Learning Framework,” explained Dr Jones.
The curriculum draws on current research, evidence informed practices and specific programs in each age groups such as The Circle of Security in the babies’ rooms, Abecedarian Language Priority for toddlers and Inquiry Based Learning Projects for older children.
Furthermore, children at Milestones Early Learning benefit from a variety of extracurricular activities which help round out their social, emotional and physical development. These may include nutritional cooking classes, creating magic in the art studios, and exploring and experimenting through the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) program.
The goal is always to provide the highest quality early education and care possible, and to deepen partnerships with families and wider community.
