Early Years Curriculum
The Queensland Early Years Curriculum Guidelines were developed by the Queensland Studies Authority for Preparatory Year classes in schools.
The guidelines are intended to:
- provide a framework to assist teachers in planning, interacting, assessing and reflecting on an effective preparatory year curriculum
- focus on children initiating and engaging in reciprocal interactions with people, objects, representations and events
- value and highlight the contribution of early childhood education to lifelong learning
- explain cross-curricula priorities
- describe the relationship between assessing and learning
- illustrate developmentally, socially and culturally appropriate learning opportunities and outcomes which acknowledge equity and diversity
- establish essential connections between the Preschool Curriculum Guidelines and the Years 1 to 10 key learning area syllabuses.
The Queensland Early Years Curriculum Guidelines 
are available from the QSA website.
