Description: Honouring the Spirit of the Child
As stated in the Early Learning Framework, ‘children are strong, capable in their uniqueness, and full of potential’. Our image of the child and their potential will be explored and discovered during this intentional workshop. An inclusive, supportive approach will be encouraged, keeping in mind your own philosophy and an image of the holistic child as we align the images of child and educator. When we understand children’s rights, needs and strengths to co-construct with one another, we keep learning alive.
Living Inquiries:
- Well-being and belonging.
- Engagement with others, materials, and the world.
- Communication and literacies.
- Identities, social responsibility, and diversity.

- Multiple modes of Communication.
