Our Team

At Port Elliot Kindergarten all educators work together in line with the Principles and Practices outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

See a brief overview of the framework.

At Port Elliot Kindergarten we are committed to:

  • Providing open-ended active learning environments that promote collaboration, curiosity, resilience and imagination.
  • Cultivating authentic relationships with all children and families.
  • Ensuring all children are supported to experience success through learning that is differentiated, meaningful, dynamic and challenging.
  • Working in partnership with all families through open and constructive communication.
  • Critically reflecting on our practice as educators, working together to build a culture of innovation, excellence and lifelong learning.

Key Educators

Every child who attends Port Elliot Kindergarten is allocated a Key Educator. The role of the Key Educator is to observe, plan for and implement learning opportunities for each child as well as document children’s learning throughout the year, culminating in a Statement of Learning at the conclusion of a child’s time at Kindergarten.

Key Educators work closely with families, listening to their hopes and dreams for their children, collaboratively determining goals and strategies for learning and discussing progress. 2 formal opportunities to do this are offered during the year and educators are also available at the beginning and end of the day.
