The DLP Resource Packs
Our Aurora At Home Program is centered around six key focus areas. Each live session and resource pack is designed to build on knowledge of and skills in a particular KFA.

Science, Technology and Mathematics
These topics are important parts of cognitive development in children, and it starts with exploring how the world works and building on inquiry. Our live sessions resource packs are designed to help lay the foundations for inquiry.
Health and Wellbeing
Health and wellbeing do not just represent the ‘care’ in education and care, it is also representing a critical area of learning. Our live sessions resource packs are designed to build on both physical and mental wellbeing.
Listening, Reading and Writing
Listening, Reading and Writing builds on literacy, which is the capacity, confidence and disposition to use language in all its forms. Our resource packs and live sessions are designed to support the development of literacy in an age-appropriate way.
Mandarin
Learning a second language can help children develop cognitively and socially. We incorporate Mandarin language learning into our programs and our live sessions and resource packs are an extension of this.
Self Expression and the Arts
Having opportunities to express one’s self is as important as being heard and understood. Our live sessions and resource packs provide ways for children to express themselves creatively, and connect with their world.
Topics of Interest and Nature
It is important for children to connect with nature and the natural world. This deepens their sense of belonging and responsibility. Our live sessions and resource packs present ways for children to better understand nature and the environment.
DLP: Extending Pedagogy In An Integrated Cycle
AN EPIC SHIFT
Through understanding the cycle of learning, we have discovered the importance of creating opportunities to enhance knowledge in all environments of a child. Aurora has embarked on the journey to continue the circle of learning by providing a digital method for intentional education at home.
Our digital learning program includes resource packs and live sessions for children who are not coming into the center. Educators trained in the Aurora Curriculum provide tailored classes that combine a specific teacher-led concept with the children’s interests and skills from the center-based programs as well as family input and environmental changes. The resource packs have guided activities that are designed to achieve specific learning outcomes in a variety of Key Focus Areas but also build on children’s holistic development. After a child has engaged with one resource pack, educators will tailor the next resource pack for each individual child and their own learning milestones.
The DLP is a vehicle to build on a continuum of learning and connect with families that are not physically present.
We acknowledge families from diverse backgrounds and circumstances, and we intend to work closely with our community to continue to connect with all. We continue to think outside the box and create further opportunities to collaborate and support children and families of the Aurora Village.
We want to create a continuum of learning, in an EPIC way.
