EYLF Outcomes
Giving children have the best start in life to create a better future
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) curriculum is the National Quality Framework designed to foster a supportive and nurturing environment where children can be educated and cared for from birth to five years of age, before commencing primary school.
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) forms the foundation for ensuring that all children experience quality teaching and learning. It has a specific emphasis on play-based learning and recognises the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social and emotional development. The Framework has been designed for use by early childhood educators working in partnership with families, children’s first and most influential educators.
