Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (updated March 2013, PDF - 2MB)
The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) has been developed by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development in partnership with the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority in November 2009 for implementation from 2010.
The VEYLDF advances all children’s learning and development from birth to eight years. It identifies five Early Years Learning and Development Outcomes for all children from birth to eight years linking the learning outcomes from the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia to the Aus/VELS curriculum in schools. The Outcomes provide a shared language for all early childhood professionals and families to use when planning for children’s learning and development.
The VEYLDF identifies eight Practice Principles for Learning and Development that describe the most effective ways for early childhood professionals to work together and with families to facilitate learning and development.
The VEYLDF emphasises the importance of supporting children’s and families’ transitions as they move within and across services throughout early childhood period.
