Learning Program
Our program is play-based, responsive to individual children and connected to the Early Years Learning Framework.
At Happy Bubby, learning happens throughout the day — through play, relationships, routines and intentional experiences. Our program is thoughtfully planned and continuously adjusted based on our observations of each child's interests, strengths and developmental needs.
We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to guide our planning, observation and assessment practices. For children approaching school age, our program includes school-readiness experiences that build confidence, independence and essential skills for a smooth transition to kindergarten.
Children's Ideas and Interests
Activities are planned in response to what children notice, discuss, explore and enjoy.
Intentional Teaching
The educator introduces ideas, questions, resources and experiences that extend children's learning beyond their current understanding.
School Readiness
As part of the EYLF program, older children participate in experiences that prepare them for the transition to school.
Creative and Sensory Play
Hands-on creative and sensory experiences develop fine motor skills, self-expression and exploration.
Outdoor Learning
Regular outdoor experiences support physical development, connection with nature and a sense of wonder.
Literacy and Communication
Language-rich experiences build communication skills, early literacy and a love of stories and books.
Numeracy and Inquiry
Everyday experiences introduce mathematical and scientific thinking through hands-on exploration.
Cultural Learning
Children learn about diverse cultures, traditions and communities through experiences that build respect and understanding.
EYLF Learning Outcomes
Our program is connected to the five learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework.

Learning and Curiosity
