C&K Narnia Community Kindergarten

Welcome

It is part of Narnia’s philosophy to develop within each child a love of learning and a high level of self worth, while joining with parents as partners in their child’s early education. At Narnia we use the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and C&K curriculum Approach. Both of these supporting curriculums provide a powerful and symbolic provocation for our thinking and a reminder of the capabilities of children – their strength, optimism, spontaneity and possibility. 

Educational Goals of our Kindergarten

The long term goals of the planned and incidental curriculum at Narnia are to:

• Provide a caring and encouraging environment which nurtures a sense of self worth;
• Create a supportive, educational program, where children are intrinsically motivated through active exploration and play. It is through play experiences that children learn best;
• Provide an environment where children develop an enquiry approach to learning. Children are encouraged to problem solve and seek answers to their questions;
• Provide a physical environment which is safe, attractive and conducive to learning;
• Develop each child’s language and social skills to include an empathy and respect for others;
• Build foundations for lifelong learning;
• Provide a program that caters to each child’s interests, needs and abilities;
• Support parents in their role as parents and teachers;
• Develop an appreciation of the natural environment which will assist the children in relaxing and feeling at ease;
• Continually review the children’s progress and to reflect upon curriculum content and applicability.
