Bachelor Of Early Childhood

Curriculum Design Officer

I have been the 4 Year Old Kinder teacher at CPELC for 12 years. I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies and Diploma of Children Services. I have worked in the early childhood sector for 25 years in various roles and am always continuously updating my knowledge and skills through Professional Development Seminars. My aim is to establish the foundations for each child's positive lifelong learning by nurturing children's holistic development whilst being a positive advocate for their rights; watching the children learn and develop in their own unique way, whilst also having fun!

Diploma In Education and Care

Hi, I am Rachael. I believe inside every child there is a rainbow to shine.  

I have been working with children with or without additional needs for many years. I discover and learn that children are not robots, we press a button and they start working. They have their own pace of growing. As an educator, all we need to do is finding their real interest, nurturing with love and care then watching them grow.  

I am here along with other educators in Columbia Park ELC to inspire children to be strong and confident and a lifelong learner.

Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and care

I have been working in childcare as an educator for the past two years. Previously i was the cook at a childcare centre. I hope my work with children will help them to broaden their mental, physical and emotional abilities to be a valuable person in the future.

Our Program

 

We view children as capable, competent co contributors and acknowledge them as active participants in learning. The curriculum will incorporate integrated units, projects, concepts, group/individual work, and hands-on learning; focusing on their individual and group needs, and diverse learning styles, development, culture, interests, ideas, strengths and abilities as we work together with families to prepare the children for school.
As well as participating in a weekly bush Nature Explorers program, multiple incursions and excursions; such as traffic school, emergency services visits, science works, the museum and various walking excursions within the nearby community.  

‘Learning during early childhood proceeds from behavioural knowledge to symbolic or representational knowledge (Bruner 1983). For example, children learn to navigate their homes and other familiar settings long before they can understand the words left and right or read a map of the house. Developmentally appropriate programs provide opportunities for children to broaden and deepen their behavioural knowledge by providing a variety of firsthand experiences and by helping children acquire symbolic knowledge through representing their experiences in a variety of media, such as drawing, painting, construction of models, dramatic play, verbal and written descriptions.’ (Katz 1995).
