The Dingley Kindergartens follow and implement the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF).  The VEYLDF guides us, as early childhood professionals to work together with families in supporting their children to learn and develop.

The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) holds a holistic view of the child and their individual needs. We consider the child’s cultural, behavioural, physical, intellectual, linguistic and socioemotional development when designing our program.

The aim and purpose of the VEYLDF is to guide early childhood professionals in a collective effort with families toward the achievement of the nationally agreed Early Years Learning Outcomes (Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, 2009) where children:

• have a strong sense of identity
• are connected with and contribute to their world
• have a strong sense of wellbeing
• are confident and involved learners
• are effective communicators.
