Early Education Program at Furlong Park School for Deaf Children

The Early Education Program at Furlong Park School for Deaf Children provides a child focused, play-based educational program for 3 – 5 year olds, who have a permanent, bilateral hearing loss of at least 40dB across 3 frequencies. The program is delivered in both spoken English and Auslan (Australian Sign Language). Our aim within the Early Education Program is to facilitate the children’s development with an emphasis on their language development. The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VELDF) guides and informs our learning program and focuses on extending children’s strengths. Parents are the child’s first teacher and the staff work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that the children have the opportunity to develop and reach their potential. If you are looking for a safe and welcoming environment for your child, we invite you to contact the school to make an appointment with the Principal, where all of your questions can be answered.
