Mirrored Curriculum Framework

Visit the Nursery

To plan and evaluate our intergenerational work, we have designed a bespoke Mirrored Care and Learning Framework that supports us to think about needs across the life course.

We have developed the six domains of the Framework by drawing on the latest global research into child and person centred care.

”We have looked at the community and culture focused New Zealand Te Whariki model, the creativity of the Reggio Emilia approach and the child-centred Australian Being, Belonging, Becoming framework. We intend that the MCF will drive the design of impactful learning spaces that support healthy interactions and encourage children and older people to learn and enjoy being together.

Ready Generations
With this broad vision and philosophy in mind, we have based the MCF on four key operational principles:

  • The child and older person as protagonist, competent and rich in resources.
    • the educator as active researcher, facilitator and learning provocateur, co-constructing learning alongside children and older people.
  • The physical, social, emotional and spiritual learning space, as the third, or silent teacher.
  • Parents, care givers, families and older people as authentic partners in learning for everyone.

    •  

    The curriculum has six domains that we use to plan all of our intergenerational work.
