Foundations We Follow

Frameworks We Embed

Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)

We implement the EYLF, focusing on Belonging, Being and Becoming. This framework underpins our play-based learning approach and supports children's communication, emotional development, and social skills. Educators embed its principles daily to guide meaningful and developmentally appropriate learning.

National Quality Standards (NQS)

We reflect on each child’s development through a continuous cycle of observation, planning, and reflection. Guided by family input and educator insights, we adapt our practices to ensure high-quality learning experiences and ongoing improvement across our service.

How We Live Our Philosophy

How We Live Our Philosophy

At Open Arms, play-based learning is central to everything we do. Our environments inspire exploration, creativity, and connection, allowing children to learn in meaningful, joyful ways.

We prioritise strong relationships—with families, children, and the community. Through tools like our closed Facebook group, “Weekend Diaries,” and personalised learning portfolios, we ensure families are informed, involved, and connected.

Sustainability and inclusion are everyday practices. From nature play to embedding diverse perspectives, we create welcoming spaces where every child feels seen, supported, and valued.

Our educators build trusting relationships and thoughtfully document each child’s learning journey. Through these daily practices, we create a nurturing, reflective environment where children can grow, belong, and thrive.
