A Research-Backed Approach to Early Education
Are you looking for the best early education for your child? Here's how our curriculum stands out in providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning and development. At Milestones Early Learning, we are proud to deliver the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, regarded as Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education and care.
Our curriculum is designed to provide the best start for children by integrating evidence-informed practices with well-established educational philosophies. It incorporates aspects of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, while also drawing from contemporary research in attachment theory, the Circle of Security, the Abecedarian Approach, and Project-Based Learning.
Aligned with Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is aligned with Belonging, Being & Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF), which guides children from birth to five years of age. This framework ensures that children develop:
- A strong sense of identity
- A connection with and contribution to their world
- A sense of wellbeing
- Confidence as involved learners
- Skills as effective communicators
At Milestones, we take these EYLF outcomes and tailor them to the specific developmental needs of babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, setting them up for a lifelong love of learning.
Your Child's Lifelong Learning Journey Starts Here
Educational Focus by Age Group
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
