Introducing Foundations for Excellence in Learning and Life (FELL)
Excellence In Care has launched an innovative program for families and educators that goes beyond traditional school readiness. We reject the term ‘School Readiness’ because it limits our understanding of children and our role as educators. Instead, our program actively supports children from infancy to school age, aligning with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). We proudly call it ‘Foundations for Excellence in Learning and Life’ (FELL), emphasizing that skills like counting are essential life skills, not just preparation for school.
Our team at Excellence In Care developed this program exclusively for our FORUMS.
The program includes an introduction, followed by an insightful overview of the educator's role in light of current expectations. It also features four modules of learning ideas that build on one another.
In addition, each section provides links to supporting documents, videos, and exclusive new resources for our educators and families. Therefore, gather (recycled) paper and printing ink to download these resources, which promote language, literacy, and numeracy for all ages in various ways. Each resource includes clear instructions and suggestions for effective use.
Here’s a concise description of the modules:
Module 1: Getting to Know Each Other
This module focuses on fostering relationships among educators, children, and families to create a supportive learning environment.
Module 2: Building on Children’s Skills, Knowledge, and Interests
In this module, educators learn how to leverage children’s existing skills and interests to enhance their learning experiences.
Module 3: Inclusion and Culture
This module emphasizes the importance of inclusion and understanding diverse cultures within the learning environment.
Module 4: Continuity of Learning and Transitions
In this final module, educators explore strategies to ensure smooth transitions and ongoing learning as children move through different stages of development.
