7 Printable EYLF Learning Outcome Templates

Practical EYLF Tools Educators Can Print and Use Immediately

In Early Childhood Education and Care, linking learning to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF v2.0) is expected — but the workload behind it can feel heavy.

Educators often know what the learning outcomes are…
The challenge is:

• Showing the link clearly in documentation

• Turning observations into planned experiences

• Demonstrating ongoing learning

• Making children’s agency visible

• Embedding sustainability in meaningful ways

That’s where printable EYLF learning outcomes resources become powerful. When tools are designed to be printed and used in real programming — not just read — they help educators move from overthinking to confident action.

These printable supports from Butler Diaries are designed specifically for that purpose.

1. Free EYLF v2 Educator Summary Poster

Printable EYLF v2 summary designed for educators

A clear, visual overview makes a big difference when you’re linking experiences, observations and planning to the EYLF learning outcomes.

This free downloadable EYLF v2 Educator Summary Poster does exactly that — giving educators a printable reference they can display or keep at their planning station.

How it supports EYLF learning outcomes

• Distills EYLF v2 into a clear, visual summary

• Helps educators recall key outcomes and principles quickly

• Supports daily planning and reflective practice

• Acts as a prompt when linking documentation to outcomes

• Reduces the time spent searching through framework text

Because learning outcomes are most useful when they’re visible and accessible, this poster makes the EYLF easier to reference and act on in everyday practice. It pairs perfectly with your other downloadable tools — like the Educator EYLF / MTOP Checklist or the Agency Posters — to help educators embed outcomes consistently in documentation.

2. Agency Posters — EYLF v2.0 Learning Outcomes

Children’s agency is a major focus in EYLF v2.0. These Agency Posters display the EYLF learning outcomes through a template that enhances children's agency and make it visible to children, families, and staff.

These printable A4 posters act as:

• Visual prompts for educators

• Conversation starters with children

• Collaboration with families on play based learning
  

The posters turn the EYLF outcomes into something visible in the environment, not just in paperwork.

The Agency Posters can be ordered as a physical copy or purchased as a digital download.

3. Educator EYLF / MTOP Checklist

A printable tool that reduces second-guessing

One of the biggest pain points educators face is wondering:

“Have I covered the learning outcomes properly? Am I used frameworks correctly?”

This printable checklist helps educators:

• Cross-reference their program with EYLF outcomes

• Identify gaps in learning areas and practice

• Strengthen evidence before assessment

• Feel confident their documentation shows intentional planning

It turns EYLF alignment into a quick review process, not an afterthought.

As an instant download, the Educator EYLF / MTOP Checklist also includes role support and guidance.

4. EYLF Information for Families

Free printable EYLF portfolio information for families

Printable EYLF learning outcomes tools aren’t only for educators — they also help families understand how learning happens.

Many families see portfolios but may not fully understand:

“What does this link to?”
“How is learning connected to play?”

This free printable EYLF information resource helps bridge that gap.

How it supports EYLF learning outcomes

• Explains the EYLF in family-friendly language

• Helps families see how experiences link to learning outcomes

• Supports stronger partnerships between educators and families

• Reinforces that play-based learning is intentional learning

• Makes documentation more meaningful beyond the service

When families understand the EYLF, conversations shift from “What did they do today?” to “What is my child learning and developing?”

It complements educator documentation by making learning visible to the whole community — not just within planning files.

5. Programming and Reflection Printer Pack

A practical system for linking everyday practice to EYLF outcomes

This Printer Pack is designed to work with the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary to provide photo evidence and clear links to the EYLF through stickers. Print your EYLF learning outcome sticker templates onto the sticker paper and use them in your documentation.

You can also purchase our Diary and EYLF/MTOP Framework Sticker Pack for already printed EYLF learning outcome stickers.

How it supports EYLF learning outcomes

• Encourages linking experiences to specific EYLF outcomes
• Supports photographic evidence as part of the cycle of planning
  

Instead of rewriting the same outcomes, educators have a clear structure that makes learning links easier to see — especially during Assessment and Rating.

7. Sustainable Educational Program Cards

Embedding sustainability through EYLF Outcome 2

Sustainability can sometimes sit on the edges of the program. These physical cards bring it into everyday planning in ways that are meaningful for children with a corresponding digital resource pack that includes guides, clear links to EYLF, and extension ideas.

EYLF links supported

• Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world

• Belonging, responsibility, and care for environments

• Hands-on learning rather than token activities

The cards give educators ready-to-use experience ideas that can be directly linked to learning outcomes when documenting.

Why Printable EYLF Learning Outcomes Tools Matter

Printable tools work because they:

• Fit naturally into daily educator routines

• Reduce cognitive load when planning

• Make learning links visible without lengthy writing

• Support consistent documentation across a team

• Help educators show quality practice — not just activity lists

They don’t add work.
They make the work educators are already doing easier to see.

Final Thought

Using printable EYLF learning outcomes resources isn’t about doing more documentation.

It’s about:

• Making children’s learning visible

• Showing intentional teaching clearly

• Embedding sustainability and agency meaningfully

• Strengthening reflection

• Reducing stress around “Am I linking this properly?”

When documentation tools are practical, structured, and educator-friendly, the EYLF becomes part of everyday practice — not an extra task at the end of the week. You can strengthen your use of digital tools by pairing them with simplified programming and documentation methods like the Butler Method.
