Foundations for Success
Sections 1 and 2 of the guideline set out the principles and perspectives that underpin a culturally secure kindergarten program.
Section 3 introduces a decision-making process which educators will use to make intentional, purposeful and thoughtful decisions that guide their planning for children's learning.
Section 4 explores how educators use the decision-making process described in Section 3 to extend and enrich children's learning. It provides an overview of each of the 5 learning areas linked clearly to the outcomes of the EYLF.
In Queensland, a transition statement is a summary of each child's learning across their kindergarten year. It includes contributions from the kindergarten teacher, parents and child.
A printed copy of the statement is made available to each child's family.
Families are encouraged to pass a copy of the transition statement on to the school upon entry into the child's Prep year.
Foundations for Success includes sample interactive transition statements.
