Oral language, literacy, mathematics and other curriculum areas are naturally interwoven through play and children's interests. Teachers use effective and intentional strategies in their interactions with children."

Effective pedagogy with intentional teaching and assessment through play-based learning

"Children learn in an environment where they can lead their own learning and confidently engage in sustained play. They enjoy trusting and close relationships with teachers who have a genuine interest in them and their families. Children's social competencies and communication skills are well supported. Teachers encourage children to develop friendships and respect for self, others and the environment. Children and their families have a strong sense of belonging to the kindergarten promoting a positive culture for learning."
