Preschool Mind Map & Planning Cycle Pack – EYLF v2.0 Aligned

The Preschool Mind Map & Planning Cycle Pack is a practical digital toolkit designed to help early childhood educators plan clear, consistent, EYLF-aligned learning experiences across the year.

This downloadable PDF set includes eight complete A3 mind maps and 48 planning pages, each covering a key topic commonly explored in preschool programs. Every page provides a structured focus area, “use this page when” guidance, clear domains, open-ended activities, EYLF v2.0 outcomes and prompts to support intentional, child-led learning and documentation.
