The Wagga Wagga East Before and After School Care learning program supports the ‘My Time, Our Place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia’ and the ‘National Quality Standard for Early Childhood Education and Care and School Age Care’.

These curriculum frameworks recognise that children are connected to family, community, culture and place, and as children participate in everyday life they develop interests and construct their own identities and understandings of the world. In school age care settings there is great importance placed on relationships and developing and strengthening children’s talents, interests and
identities.

Therefore, at Wagga Wagga East Before and After School Care our educators recognise that children’s identities, knowledge, understandings, capacities, skills and relationships change during childhood and they are shaped by many different events and experiences within the sociocultural context.

Our educators collaborate with children and families and members of the broader local community to develop a learning program that provides play and leisure opportunities that are meaningful and relevant to children, inclusive of their diverse needs, abilities and backgrounds, and supports their wellbeing, learning, development and identity formation.
