Planning at Richmond Crèche is a collaborative process. Each room devises a weekly schedule that allows every educator within the room preparation time off the floor in order to actively contribute to the planning of both the indoor and outdoor programs. Consistent with Regulations and the Victorian Early Years Framework the Educational Program and Practice folders are always available for educator and parent participation within each room.
We understand that learning is a lifelong process and that the early childhood years, are a time for learning valuable skills to build a foundation for that. Our kindergarten rooms provide a space for children to become well rounded individuals who learn through investigation and project work.
