Inspiring Ideas

Understanding and developing the links between the experiences you offer and the EYLF and NQS

Children under 5 years of age share many common interests. Inspiring Ideas takes 10 areas of interest (the ocean, space, dinosaurs, gardens and minibeasts, farms, wild animals, transport and buildings, literature and community, culture and identity) that most early childhood services would cover in their programming and explores them in detail. Each area has a whole classroom curriculum outlined and demonstrated, providing educators with a variety of learning experiences they can implement. Packed with photographs and innovative ideas that support learning and the acquisition of relevant information, it fully supports educators to understand and develop the links between the experiences they offer children and the EYLF and NQS.
