What are some ways and examples for quality area 1.1.3: All aspects of the program, including routines, are organised in ways that maximise opportunities for each childs?
Practical strategies and concrete examples to organise programs and routines so every child has maximised learning and participation opportunities.
Environment and layout
Intentional room layout
Create clear learning zones (book corner, sensory area, art, small-group table) to support independent choice and focused teaching.
Place high-interest materials at child height so children can access them independently (e.g., low shelves, labelled baskets).
Flexible furniture and spaces
Use moveable furniture to quickly create small-group teaching areas or quiet spaces for children needing reduced stimulation.
Provide seating options (floor cushions, low chairs, standing table) to meet different sensory and postural needs.
Routines and transitions
Predictable routines with visual supports
Visual daily schedules and individual cue cards help children anticipate and prepare for transitions.
Use timers, songs, or gestures to signal upcoming transitions and reduce downtime.
Staggered or flexible transitions
Allow some children to transition earlier or later to avoid bottlenecks (e.g., toilet, outdoor play).
Use “transition buddies” or short transitional activities to keep children engaged and safe.
Individualised and small-group supports
Intentional small-group teaching
Plan daily small-group times to target language, fine motor, or social skills based on assessment.
Rotate groups so all children receive focused instruction without disrupting the whole group.
Individualised plans and adjustments
Use learning goals (developmental or IEP targets) to adapt activities—simpler steps, sensory supports, extended time.
Provide one-to-one support or peer mentoring for children who need it during key routines (meal, toileting, getting ready).
Teaching practices and pedagogy
Embed learning in routines
Turn daily routines (handwashing, snack, tidy-up) into teaching moments for counting, language, independence, and self-regulation.
Scaffold and model
Use modelling, scaffolds, and fading supports so children can progressively take more responsibility for routines and tasks.
Communication and inclusion
Use varied communication supports
Provide signs, picture exchange, simple text, or assistive devices so all children understand expectations and routines.
Family partnership
Share daily routines and strategies with families; align home and service approaches to support consistency.
Staffing, roles and planning
Clear staff roles and intentional deployment
Assign staff to specific routines (arrival, mealtime, outdoor play) so each child receives consistent support and opportunities.
Collaborative planning and reflection
Use team planning time to review how routines worked, note who was excluded or disengaged, and adjust the next day’s plan.
Assessment, documentation and continuous improvement
Observe and document participation
Record which children engaged, which activities supported learning, and where barriers occurred; use this to redesign routines.
Trial, reflect, adjust
Try small changes (different start time, alternative cue) and review outcomes with staff and families to refine approaches.
Examples summarised
Morning routine: visual arrival chart, a welcome song, and two staff greeting at door to reduce crowding and support language.
Snack time: buffet-style self-serve with staff modelling pouring and counting to build independence and numeracy.
Outdoor play: zones for active play, quiet exploration, and sensory play with staff rotating to support inclusion and intentional interactions.
Toileting/transitions: individual visual cues and extra time built into the timetable for children who require it.
These strategies ensure that program structure, routines and the physical environment are organised intentionally to maximise each child’s opportunities to learn, participate and be supported.
