Victorian Early Years Learning & Development Framework...

BELONGING, BEING AND BECOMING...

The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) is based on the belief that children's lives are characterised by Belonging, Being and Becoming.

Belonging: 
Knowing where, and with whom, you belong.
Being: 
Childhood is a time to be, to question and make meaning of the world.
Becoming: 
Reflecting the changes that occur in the early years as children grow and learn to be active participants in society.  

03 Characteristics

Fundamental to the Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by 3 main traits of belonging, being and becoming, as explained above.
