Auslan is a beautiful language which is inclusive to all! It allows deaf families to communicate with each other, and also can be used with children who have communication difficulties!

Our program is one of a kind in the way in which it is structured!
the program is structured in themes lasting 5 weeks. Each theme provides children with a rang of activities from instrument songs, Auslan, movement songs, Yoga, sensory games etc.
These themes can be chosen at random by us
OR if you prefer, YOU can choose which
themes you would like to see!
​
This provides educators with the opportunity
to choose themes based on their children's
interests and current learning within the centre.
​
if the children have a favourite song Erin will do her absolute best to do it that session in amongst the other themed songs. If this is not possible she will bring it in for the next week as a new child led learning experience.
A weekly overview is provided to each centre via email after the session/s.
This overview gives the educators a run down of the session:
- instrument songs
- movement songs
- music theory
-auslan etc
Each section of the overview is linked to the
EYLF Outcomes, principles and practices and
Childs voice is added where appropriate.
​
this overview can be provided to families
via apps such as story park, and used within
the planning cycle as evidence for a QIP.
​
For an example of an overview, please contact us for more information.
