      <image:title>Our Educators - Hema</image:title>
      <image:caption>Director, Educational Leader and 4 Year Old Kindergarten Teacher (Possums) Bachelor of Computer Technology Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood and Primary) My name is Hema and I have the privilege of being a part of the amazing Elonera Preschool community. I began my career in the IT sector after completing my degree in Computer Technology, however spending a day at my friend’s place who ran family daycare sparked my curiosity and interest in the early childhood education sector. Eventually, I went on to complete my Diploma and then Bachelor in Early Childhood Education. For several years, I have engaged in a range of management and teaching roles within the sector, predominantly as an Educational Leader as I have a strong passion for pedagogy.   I believe that curiosity is the very basis of education and that is also why my philosophy is strongly influenced by the educational principles of Reggio Emilia. Children’s curiosity, their theories, ideas and most of all, their rights are at the heart of my program. They need to be offered the opportunity to explore everything from seed pods to robotics, with teachers facilitating and learning with them in the process.   When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, and my hubby Naveen who is an engineer by profession and hip-hop dancer by nature. I also enjoy dancing and going on nature walks.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Philosophy - Curriculum</image:title>
      <image:caption>We facilitate each child’s learning through play-based approach, informed by contemporary theories and theorists, that is holistic in incorporating their physical, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual well-being. Our curriculum is informed by our practitioner research projects, contemporary research, as well as collaboration with various professionals and continuing partnership with communities. We facilitate learning opportunities that reflect on children’s ideas, interests, and personal experiences to foster their skills in becoming lifelong learners. Our curriculum will offer opportunities for children to express themselves using their ‘hundred languages’ Learning spaces are designed and set-up thoughtfully to scaffold children’s learning, presenting opportunities for sustained shared thinking and collaborative learning. Our outdoor learning environment fosters an appreciation and connection with nature as a basis for sustained environmental care and awareness. Our curriculum promotes children’s spontaneity, risk taking, and stimulates exploration, research and construction of theories to understand our world.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At Elonera we practice the principles of The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. For more details, please read here. The Victorian Framework uses five outcomes to describe the key elements of children’s learning and development. These are: Identity — Children have a strong sense of identity. Community — Children are connected with and contribute to their world. Wellbeing — Children have a strong sense of wellbeing. Learning — Children are confident and involved learners. Communication — Children are effective communicators.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Each child’s developmental progression, advancing skill levels and particular interests will be noted by their teachers. The teachers will use this knowledge to support the children’s learning (just as they do at kinder). Teachers will support children as they take considered risks and face challenges essential to well- rounded learning. Stories will be told, knowledge will be shared, songs will be sung, and fun will be had. Through play the children will connect with and grow to respect and love this natural environment. They will connect with their land in a way that cannot be done under a roof or within walls.
