Principles

At Stepping Stones we are inspired by the Bush Kindy and Forest School approach.The six main principles we base our curriculum on are:

Child-Led

Respect

Risk- Management

Open-Ended Learning

Social Development

Literacy

Curriculum

We offer an Emerging curriculum that is inspired by several principles adopted from bush kindergarten and forest school principles and practices.Using the principles of Child-led, Respect, Risk management, Open-ended learning, Social Development and Literacy as the foundation of our curriculum, we plan, observe, and evaluate the children’s daily experiences. While the curriculum is emergent, the outcomes we are looking for underneath it are not. They are based on the Early Years Learning Framework, a set of developmental outcomes, the 8 Ways of Aboriginal Learning pedagogy.
