New Ways of Thinking, Doing & Planning

-The Rose Way-

We are excited to announce that we are beginning a new journey in the planning and implementation of our Educational Program here at Belmont North Preschool in 2024. The Rose Way framework uses a strength based approach to education, using learning environments to inspire children to explore and learn through their play. It sees children as capable, competent citizens of the preschool community, and takes a child centred approach. The Rose way approach sees educators as the researchers of children’s play, and throughout the term, educators research a focus topic through their planning and observations of children’s play and participation in the program. This leads to meaningful planning and documentation. Each week planning for group learning is shared. The plans are implemented and educators observe how the children are playing and learning. This data is collated and shared with families at the end of the week through a document that will be displayed on our program board. All children are supported to engage in the program throughout the term and their involvement is included in the documentation shared at the end of the week. This document is a summary of learning, so while a child may not be represented in the documentation every week, they will be included regularly over the term. In addition we share meaningful conversations about each child’s involvement and also share photos of meaningful moments happening at preschool each day, and individual children will be regularly represented in these. Educators also observe and support children individually through the year, supporting their individual emerging learning.
