Learning through play

King David’s Early Learning curriculum is guided by children’s curiosity and ideas, and developed in consultation with families and the community for play-based programs. Active learning through play is facilitated through the provision of a range of opportunities, environments and experiences built thoughtfully around the individual strengths and interests of each child. This enables children to learn through collaboration and communication with other children and adults, and through interactions in the environment. Sustainability education is also introduced early on in order to foster an understanding of our planet.

Jewish Life permeates the ELC as the centre moves to the rhythm of the Jewish calendar. There’s focus on providing joyful Jewish experiences through stories, songs, dancing and craft, to enrich our celebrations of Shabbat and the festivals. Children are taught Hebrew through fun and interactive mat time sessions, and families are invited to celebrate major festivals and join with the Junior School for special celebrations.

The King David School works in partnership with families, offering opportunities to meet before and during their time at the ELC. With part time and full-time options available, the program aims to meet the learning and social goals for each child through creative methods to engage and inspire every individual in their care. A range of parent education sessions throughout the year on a variety of topics relevant to the early years are also offered.
