Early Learning Centre (ELC)

The Early Learning Centre (ELC) at Pulteney is the first significant step step of a child’s education and is where a lifetime of learning begins.

Pulteney’s ELC is a place of adventure, growth and learning. Our educational philosophy, inspired by Reggio Emilia principles, is based on the whole child with a focus on play-based activities and the curriculum follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). This framework provides principles that ensure that all children are assisted to make progress towards the learning outcomes. A strong emphasis is placed on play-based inquiry learning and the importance of communication, connection and language.

Early literacy and numeracy are essential components in the support and enhancement of the children’s development.
