Play-based learning
Where creativity & imagination reign.
Early Years Learning Framework
Belong, Be,
and Become
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is an Australian-wide government initiative for early childhood education and care. The EYLF is centered around play as the catalyst for all learning experiences, and places an emphasis on using play to help children “belong, be, and become”.
There’s power in play.
Doing what children do best
Aligned with the EYLF, we believe that play-based learning is one of the key ways children make sense of the world around them. Socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, children use play to grow skills as they interact with people and their environment.
Structured and spontaneous play-based learning supports every child’s natural instinct to explore and inquire, so learning becomes effortless. In fact, learning hardly feels like learning in the “traditional” sense — it’s fun, engaging, enriching, challenging, and rewarding. At Ascolta, we’re able to create teachable moments every day thanks to the play-based approach we weave through all aspects of the centre.

Five outcomes,
one framework
The EYLF covers five key outcomes — which we highly value at Ascolta. From identity to wellbeing, active involvement to confidence and communication, the EYLF is worth a read.
