Early Childhood Education Programs
At Norfolk Childcare, we are committed to the implementation of the National Early Years Learning Framework. Our program is based on the individual needs of the children in our care, ensuring all educational programs are adapted to be developmentally appropriate for each child. Our program has variations, providing for a wide range of individual experiences. These experiences give the children the opportunity to make choices and take on new challenges. Our goal is to inspire delight, curiosity, and inquiry in the classroom. Our program in no way stereotypes in relation to gender, cultural or religious background.
