How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Birchwood 9-Hole Cubby Unit provides a versatile storage solution that encourages children to engage in play-based learning. By allowing easy access to a variety of resources, children can independently select materials for their projects, fostering curiosity and inquiry as they explore different ways to use the items stored within the unit.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
This cubby unit promotes a sense of ownership and responsibility among children as they learn to store and organise their personal belongings and creative materials. By having designated spaces for their backpacks and projects, children can develop routines that support their independence and contribute to a comfortable learning environment.
