Junior Kindy Group – Short Term Goals

To have children feel safe and secure - Educator's will provide a welcoming and inclusive environment; ensuring care is given to build a bond with each child.
To guide children in learning to interact in relation to others with care, empathy and respect; by role playing, modelling and with group discussions.
To help the children develop their identity and a sense of belonging to the group. Educators will assist them to integrate into group play; encourage them to freely choose who they want to play with and be confident in their participation.
To support the children in becoming strong in their social and emotional wellbeing.

Enhance children's independence and self-help skills - Educator's will support their learning.
To become socially responsible and show respect for the environment they are in.
Developing the children in all areas of the 5 outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework that guides us.
