“A quality early childhood model influenced by science can impact children's lives forever. We have to get it right from the beginning."
At Grow Early Education, our curriculum is built on The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a), a world-renowned, evidence-based teaching and learning framework designed to give every child the best possible start in life.
For more than 40 years, research has shown that children thrive when they experience frequent, intentional, and responsive interactions with caring adults. This is at the heart of 3a, and it’s why our Educators make every moment a meaningful opportunity for learning, discovery, and connection.
The Four Elements of 3a
The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) brings these principles to life through four key practices that enrich everyday routines and learning experiences:
Language Priority: Making every experience an opportunity for conversation and language development.
Enriched Caregiving: Transforming daily care routines into powerful learning moments.
Conversational Reading: Interactive, back-and-forth reading that builds comprehension, curiosity, and a love of books.
Learning Games: Over 200 fun, research-based games designed to spark problem-solving, creativity, and joyful learning with one-on-one attention.
Through 3a, every interaction matters. By combining scientific research with warm, nurturing relationships, Grow Early Education ensures children are not only prepared for school, but inspired for a lifelong love of learning.
Our Educators Receive Training in The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a)
To deliver the best outcomes for children, our Educators receive qualifications in The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) through training delivered in partnership with the prestigious Melbourne Graduate School of Education. This ensures our teams are equipped with the latest knowledge, skills, and strategies to provide high-quality, evidence-based education every day.
Why We Use The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a)
Early Intervention for Lifelong Success: Starting from infancy, we lay strong foundations that positively influence each child’s future development and school readiness.
Individualised Learning for Every Child: Every child is unique. Our Educators tailor interactions and experiences to meet each child’s needs, strengths, and interests.
Language-Rich Environments: Talking, listening, and learning language are woven into every part of the day, helping children become confident communicators.
Families as Partners: We work alongside families to support each child’s learning journey, building strong and trusting relationships.
Safe, Nurturing and Stimulating Spaces: Children learn best when they feel secure. Our centres provide environments filled with love, care, and opportunities for exploration.
At Grow Early Education, we are proud to embrace an approach that combines research, quality practice, and genuine care. By investing in both our Educators and The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a), we give children the tools, confidence, and curiosity to thrive—today, at school, and throughout their lifelong learning journey.
