EYLF Planning Cycle PDF

The document outlines the Early Years Planning Cycle used in early childhood education. It consists of four key parts: Observation, Questioning, Planning, and Reflection. Educators first observe children, families, and their environment to gather information. They then ask questions to analyze their observations and understand children's learning and development. Next, educators create plans to support children's learning based on their Belonging, Being and Becoming. Finally, educators reflect on the process to evaluate children's learning and inform future planning. The cycle aims to provide intentional, meaningful, and responsive learning experiences for young children.
