New resources to help you choose and use a curriculum pathway

Early learning services will start using the updated Early Learning Curriculum Framework from 1 May this year. To help you understand what that means for you and your service, we’ve developed some new resources that we’re excited to share with you. Some of them help you pick and choose the curriculum pathway that’s best suited to your service, and others help you understand the pathways so that you can be confident in using them. Read more about those resources below!

If you want to brush up on the ins and outs of the updated framework, you can find those details here: Updated Early Learning Framework news article
