The EYLF builds on the idea that children’s lives are defined by belonging, being and becoming. Early childhood educators play a powerful role in supporting children to:
belong in their early learning setting, feeling valued, connected and confident;
be in the present, ‘engaging with life’s joys and complexities, and meeting challenges in everyday life’; and
become active learners and engaged citizens, as they move towards their school years and their place in the world.
