Your Question?
We have to link the following scenarios to an EYLF Practise and I keep debating whether or not this is correct
Educators gather information about children’s families and their backgrounds, interests and family activities so that they can gain a better understanding of the context of each child as a unique individual.
Beth knows that for many of the babies in her care, they are beginning to explore and understand object permanence. With this is mind, she has set up a number of resources including boxes, fabric and toys for children to play hide and seek with. During transitions they are also exploring hide and seek opportunities through the song “Where oh where oh where is …?”
Jeremy, Ewan’s dad approached John, the educator at Blue Bay Early Learning Centre and expressed his concern that Ewan wasn’t learning anything because all he does is play all day. Jeremy discussed the importance of children’s play for their development and learning. He later reflected that he would take more effort to make children’s learning through play visible for families.
Anita likes to make the nappy change routine a time for building relationships and having fun with her 1 year olds. She sings songs and talks with the children about anything they show interest in. She pays particular attention to the non-verbal cues they give to indicate their interests and ideas.
When beginning education and care at Blue Bay Early Learning Centre families attend a number of orientation sessions as well as an interview with their child’s primary educator so that they can share detailed information about their child with the service to ensure a smooth transition into care.

The educators in the preschool room have developed a calendar of events based on a variety of cultural practices found within the service and around the world. This will be used to develop children’s knowledge of different cultures and promote positive attitudes to culture.
The toddler room at Blue Bay Early Learning Centre is set up to include spaces for children to be alone, to work in small groups as well as engage in large group experiences. Learning areas have been developed to be flexible and responsive to children’s interests, offering open-ended and age-appropriate resources that promote children’s imagination and curiosity. There is a strong sense of community within the room with photos of children and families visible within each learning area.

Practice: (Assessment for learning)
Description and Message:
It's basically a table where you match the practice with the scenarios and I don't want to get this wrong, but I keep over analysing the scenarios, even though I'm looking at the EYLF intently.
