Early Years Learning

The Early Years Learning Framework describes a vision of children's learning, characterised by:

belonging —recognising that knowing where and with whom you belong is integral to human existence, providing a basis for children's interdependence and relationships with others
being —recognising and valuing the "here and now" in children's lives, and viewing childhood as more than simply preparation for adulthood or for the future
becoming —recognising the rapid and significant learning and development that occurs in the early years, and the capability and potential of all children.
