Our Learning Approach
Our C.O.R.E Literacy Program at our childcare Laverton centre supports early communication skills, helping children build confidence while learning at Inspira Kids.
Through hands-on, play-based activities, children develop strong communication skills, including listening and speaking, while being encouraged to build an interest in reading and writing. This helps them express ideas clearly, communicate within the supportive settings, helping them become independent learners.
C – Child-centred: Learning is guided by each child’s interests, strengths and developmental stage
O – Opportunities maximised for each child: Intentional learning experiences are carefully planned to support each child’s growth and development
R – Reggio Emilia- inspired environment: Environments are designed to encourage inquiry, creativity and independent thinking
E – Engagement with families: Collaborative partnerships with families support consistent learning outcomes
