The educators will communicate, document your child’s learning observations, and refer to the EYLF.  There is a reason for this – the EYLF is the basis for everything we do in Early Childhood education and care!

The EYLF was developed in 2009 as a result of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) and is based on conclusive national and international evidence as to the importance of early childhood.

It aims to assist educators in providing young children with opportunities to maximise their learning and provide a foundation for future success. This ties in with the COAG vision that

“All children have the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation.”

EYLF carries three main themes which you may see displayed in the Kids Club Early Childhood Learning centres:

At Kids Club Early Childhood Learning Centres, we believe in providing an environment where children, families and educators can develop a sense of belonging. Everyone is accepted and encouraged to be themselves and diversity is celebrated. At Kids Club Early Learning services, we provide opportunities for children to become successful lifelong learners.

The three EYLF themes are central to how build relationships and interact with children in our care, the natural, educational environment in which they play in, and how we plan for future learning experiences.

The EYLF  is made up of learning outcomes and principles and practices which educators use in their documentation of children’s learning and in their reflection and planning.

There are five EYLF learning outcomes and what this looks like at Kids Club Early Learning Services:

The five learning outcomes are important lifelong goals for children, to provide your child with the best start for their future. Our educators implement these outcomes to plan for children’s learning and ensure they have covered all learning opportunities to further their development. These aims and outcomes are reflected in the half-yearly and end-of-year development summaries. We also capture teachable moments on our Kids Club app which families find very helpful and engaging.

Educators are not only guided by the 5 Learning Outcomes, but also by the Principles, Practices and Learning Environments of the EYLF, which include4:

Learning Environments:

As you can see, the EYLF provides educators with a comprehensive framework under which to operate. Many terms from the learning outcomes, principles and practices may come up when speaking to educators or reading through documentation. The EYLF supports a model of curriculum planning as an ongoing cycle that implies working in partnership with families.

So, what does this mean for your child?  As a team of educators, we are committed to implementing EYLF into our daily practices and using the principles to guide our decision-making.  Your child, therefore, is being given opportunities to develop in each of the five learning outcomes and to promote a lifelong love of learning.

There is also a framework for school-aged children called My Time Our Place although that’s a discussion for another time!

• Use more salt. Experts usually recommend limiting salt (sodium) because it can raise blood pressure, sometimes dramatically.
• Drink more water. Fluids increase blood volume and help prevent dehydration, both of which are important in treating hypotension.
• Wear compression stockings.
• Medications.

The Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) is a 6-week group program for people with type 2 diabetes. The program was developed by Stanford University to help you manage your diabetes symptoms, tiredness, pain, and emotional issues, by helping you learn skills to better manage your diabetes day to day.

Yap is a cluster of islands that stretch for 600 miles in the vast Pacific Ocean. Yap proper, a group of four main islands within a barrier reef, is approximately 500 miles southwest of Guam, 300 miles northeast of Palau, and 800 miles due east of Cebu, Philippines. The other islands that comprise the state of Yap extend eastward towards Chuuk, with one atoll about 80 miles to the south. Yap lies just nine degrees north of the Equator.

Most visitors arrive via United Airlines, with 737 service to Yap three days each week. Flight information can be found on the United Airlines web site. The only other way to arrive is by sailing vessel (privately owned).

There are three commercial banks in Yap: the Bank of Guam, FSMBank and the Community Ayuw Credit Union. US currency is used. Credit cards are accepted by most hotels and some shops but cash is the commonly used currency. Travelers checks can be cashed at banks that are open Monday to Friday. ATM machines are available at the Bank of Guam and FSM Bank.

Micronesia Custom Regulations, Visas and Entry

Most visitors are allowed entry to the FSM as long as they have a valid passport and an onward ticket. U.S. citizens are allowed to stay indefinitely, provided they have a valid passport. Most other nationals are allowed between 14 and 30 days. Please check with your travel agent or email the Yap Visitors Bureau for more information.

There is a departure fee of US $20.00 that is payable in cash upon check-in for your departure flight.

Yap’s year round climate is sub-tropical, with average temperatures in the high 80’s (F) to low 90’s during the day, and low 80’s in the evenings. Loose cotton clothing, shorts, t-shirts, sarongs, and sandals for the day, and light slacks/polo shirts for the evening. There is no formal dress in Yap, so dress casual and be comfortable. Women should cover their thighs with loose slacks, long shorts or skirts. While acceptable in western cultures, a woman’s thighs must be covered in Yap. Sunscreens are available at hotels and dive shops, but if you have a particular brand you like, bring your own supply. Hats are worn by just about everybody to keep out the sun, and good sunglasses are essential for boating.

Diving is good year round, with the Trade Winds blowing from November to May. During these months, manta dives are done in Mi'il Channel and our reef and wall dives are at the southern end and western side of the island. Boat rides for the reefs can be rough at times, but the diving sites are calm and safe. In the summer months, June through October, manta dives are done in both Mi'il and Goofnuw Channels for the mantas, and all of the reefs around Yap are accessible as the winds cease and the ocean is usually calm.

With our current flight schedule of three arrivals per week, visitors can stay anywhere from two to seven nights or more. Visits of five to seven days are typical, with some visitors staying three weeks or more. Many divers who come for only a couple of days leave disappointed, having learned once they arrived that they’ll be missing out on some of Micronesia’s best diving and cultural activities.

No, the reef is too far from land to make any beach dives.

Yap has its own recompression facility, owned by the Yap State Health Department, located at the hospital in Colonia, and operated by volunteers from both the hospital and the diving community.

Absolutely! Bringing your family to Yap is a wonderful experience for children and parents alike.

There are several taxi companies. Typical fares are US$1.00 anywhere in Colonia and about US$12.00 to the farthest point of the island. It’s a good idea to ask your hotel or service operator to make an arrangement for a taxi because there are no taxis looking for customers on the street and taxis do not have fare meters. There are public buses for US$1.00 that operate each morning and evening only, bringing people to work and back home again at the end of the school and work day. Rental cars vary in price from about US$38.00 to $60.00 per day.

Women should cover their thighs when in public places. Long shorts or skirts (down to the knee) or sarongs are fine, as are jeans or slacks. Men should also not wear shorts that are “too short”. Bathing suits should be used for swimming or on the boat or at poolside only.

Yap is GMT + 10 hrs. We are ten hours ahead of London, 15 hours ahead of the U.S. East Coast, and one hour ahead of Tokyo. We are in the same time zone as Sydney, Australia and Guam. Yap does not observe Daylight Savings Time.

Remarkably, there is a wide variety of different hotels on Yap. Every hotel has its own niche that is clearly defined, such as Diving, Eco-tourism, Business, Historic Inn, Resort, Beach, and Economy Hotel.

If you whisper, people will strain their ears to listen but if you shout people will shut their ears in annoyance… meaning: Don’t be loud and obnoxious but humble and modest… people will respond better to you that way.
