Sharing our Program
Our program will look different on different days, and in individual services and rooms. Our team will share the program, and your child’s experiences within the program with you in a variety of ways.
This may include:
- Via the OWNA app
- Displays in your child’s room
- Photo updates
- Family newsletters
You are also welcome to talk to our team at any time about the program and your child’s play and development.
Our service works within the guidelines of the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 and all programs are designed to embrace the Principles and Practices of this framework and to work towards the Learning Outcomes.
