We share photos, observations, daily reflections and learning stories through HubHello, alongside your child’s learning portfolio. Chat with your child’s educators at pickup, and phone calls are always welcome.

A Play-Based Curriculum, Anchored in the EYLF
Every Cuddly Bear Day Care Centre day is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, Australia’s national curriculum for children from birth to five. Here is how we bring it to life.
The Early Years Learning Framework is Australia’s national curriculum for children from birth to five. It rests on three simple ideas, Belonging, Being and Becoming, and it is delivered through play.
At Cuddly Bear Day Care Centre, the framework is not a poster on the wall. It is the lens our educators use to plan experiences, observe each child, and reflect on the day’s learning.
