LEARNING SITUATIONS & THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT The program encourages children to participate in a range of learning situations from individual activities, through to small group projects and activities that include the entire group. The team supports children’s learning by encouraging them to cooperate with peers and adults. Children are encouraged to extend their skills and problem-solving strategies by experiencing appropriate and meaningful challenges within the program. The program is play-based and allows children to develop at their own pace as successful learners. The program includes the interactions that take place between the team, families and children. These should be characterised by mutual respect, responsiveness and warmth. Children, families and the team should all feel welcome and included in this environment. The program includes the physical environment. The team creates a space that is well-organised and designed to stimulate a sense of creativity and aesthetic awareness. The program includes the daily routine. The team creates a routine that reflects children’s need to rest, eat, and play. During each day there are times for children to interact with their peers, or seek time out by themselves. There are a range of active and passive activities for children to choose between. The team plan their day so that transitions between activities are handled sensitively and children are not rushed.
