Village Yard Christian Early Learning is committed to providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive through a blend of Christian values, Montessori principles, and the Reggio Emilia approach. We believe that each child is a unique creation, made in the image of God, and we are dedicated to fostering their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and social development.
The EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) and QKLG (Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guide) are both important frameworks used in early childhood education in Australia. They guide educators in delivering quality education and care to young children. We always aim to follow the professional guidelines for Early Childhood services: the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG). These frameworks help us provide a consistent, high-quality educational experience, ensuring young children’s learning and development are nurtured effectively and align with national and state guidelines.
Our young people are uniquely designed by God. Village Yard educates, equips, empowers and energises the hearts, minds, hands and behaviours of young people so they can discover their unique purpose for the collective good of the community.
We believe that children are a gift from God and that every child deserves to feel valued, loved, and supported in their development. Our centre fosters an environment of care where Christian values guide our interactions and daily practices. Care encompasses the values of Hillcrest Christian College (integrity, respect, courage, service, humility, diligence and discernment). We encourage children to express these toward one another, nurturing their sense of purpose and connection to the world around them. Biblical teachings on character traits are woven into our curriculum, helping children build a strong moral foundation.
In our centre, we incorporate the Montessori approach to education, believing that children learn best through hands-on exploration in an environment designed to promote independence and self-confidence. We provide a carefully prepared space where children are encouraged to make choices, engage in purposeful activity, and follow their own interests and pace of learning. Our teachers serve as guides, observing each child’s unique needs and providing them with tools, materials, and experiences that empower them to learn and grow. We believe in the child’s inherent ability to direct their own learning, and our role is to support and nurture that natural curiosity.
