The learning and development areas describe the knowledge, skills and dispositions that children explore during the kindergarten year:

Identity

Children build a strong sense of identity through connections with their families, peers, teachers and communities.

Connectedness

Children are developing a sense of connectedness to their world. This connectedness helps them relate to the values, traditions and practices of their families, kindergartens, communities and the wider world. It supports them to learn about the interconnectedness of people and environments.

Well-being

Important aspects of well-being include children’s physical and mental health, personal safety and successful social functioning. Well-being is linked with resilience, providing children with the ability to manage change and respond to challenges. A strong sense of well-being requires positive, supportive and trusting relationships, which build children’s confidence and optimism.

Active Learning

Active learning helps children to build positive dispositions and approaches towards learning. It encourages increasing confidence, engagement and involvement in learning and the development of curiosity, problem-solving, creative thinking and investigation processes.

Communicating

The foundation for children becoming effective citizens is their development of language, literacy and numeracy. Exploring and engaging with literacy through reading, viewing, listening, writing, speaking and creating supports a child to become an effective communicator. Numeracy is the capacity, confidence and disposition to use mathematics in everyday situations.
