Belonging, Being, and Becoming – The Early Years Learning Framework

As a child’s younger years are critical to their development and growth, Belonging, Being, and Becoming – The Early Education and Care Framework helps educators in guiding how to build successful early education programs. Built off educators’ mutual communication, interaction, and understanding with early childcare children, the building blocks the Belonging, Being, and Becoming Framework provides the building blocks for any great program.

A child’s early years are critical. They are the building blocks for happiness and success later in life, and the time when a child’s social, emotional, and academic education begins.

In general, learning programs for children promote the development of:

  • Language and literacy skills
  • Personal and interpersonal skills
  • Physical skills
  • Creativity and the expressive arts
  • Problem solving, thinking and mathematical abilities

We at The Pocket Early Education and Care understand that this is a time of building the basics for all core abilities and skills. Our team of passionate and dedicated educators do all in their power to give your child all they need through learning activities and experiences that will stay with them for life. A child’s learning is encouraged, guided, observed, and documented for later reflection to push the development of thinking and the mind.

Our team uses the “Belong, Being, and Becoming” Framework as the base building block of all our early education programs used in our centre. This framework covers everything in learning, from the moment of birth to five years old, as well as covering the transition period to primary school after kindergarten.
