Our curriculum

Free fun activity packs and storybooks for your child

The HIPPY Australia curriculum framework informs and supports all learning in the Age 3 and Age 4 Activity Packs. The HIPPY activities and storybooks have been designed so that HIPPY families of all languages and cultural backgrounds can successfully complete the program with their child.

The framework is made up of:

Three elements

The three elements are similar to the foundations of a house: although they may not always be able to be seen, they are always there.

The curriculum was reviewed in 2016 in consultation with Community Child Care Association, HIPPY International and our Australian network of Coordinators and Tutors. The HIPPY Australia curriculum aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework , Australian National Curriculum and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child .
